COURSE CONTENT
Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
The students will:
1. List in order, the steps in developing a route location and give
an illustrative example of each step.
2. Define and give an illustrative example for the use of horizontal
and vertical control surveys.
3. Reduce field notes for horizontal and vertical control surveys
and adjust each using the appropriate methods.
4. Calculate the position of control points using the state plane
coordinate system, including sea level reductions.
5. Determine the necessary data to stake-out route curves, including
simple, compound, reverse and vertical curves.
6. Determine the necessary data to establish the location for a
superelevated horizontal curve.
7. Calculate the volume of earth by average end and contour methods.
8. Construct a mass diagram using data determine from cross-section
survey.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.
Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing. | Writing 0 - 0% |
None | |
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course. |
|
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills. | Problem Solving 25 - 35% |
Homework problems, Field work, Lab reports, Exams | |
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams. | Skill Demonstrations 25 - 45% |
Field work, Performance exams | |
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams. | Exams 15 - 30% |
Multiple choice, Matching items, Completion, COMPUTATIONAL | |
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories. | Other Category 0 - 0% |
