Specialization: Construction Science, Water Systems, & Wastewater Management
My Extension and Outreach focus is on water, especially wastewater treatment at individual residences and in very small communities.
My interests include soil-based wastewater renovation and water reuse.

Introductory course in computer-aided design as related to construction and the building process. Instruction in basic CAD commands, symbols, design techniques, and dimensioning. Instruction on the working drawing package but with emphasis on the drawings associated with Civil and Construction aspects of a project such as: site plans, foundation details, shop drawings, as-built drawings, etc.
Contact Hour Distribution: 2 hours lecture and 1 lab.
(RE) Prerequisite(s) : CSAS 125.
Introduction to construction surveying and related surveying data collection. Construction surveying will include introduction to and care of equipment and methods of data collection. Emphasis will be placed on building layout, project control/evaluation, cut/fill, grade staking, and placement of piping and utilities. Surveying graphic concepts will be introduced and will require the use of computer aided graphics.
(RE) Prerequisite(s) : CSAS 125, MATH 132* or MATH 141* or MATH 151*.
Introduction to construction organization, building systems and construction materials. Emphasis on the building process including codes, zoning, material standards, standard practice, and sustainability.
