Relationship to Civil Engineering program outcomes (PO): This course contributes to the following program outcomes: a. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering. (I) b. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data. (I) d. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams. (I) e. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. (I) f. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. (I) i. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning. (I) k.an ability to understand the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. (I) o. An understanding of the role of the leader and leadership principles and aptitudes. (I) Class/laboratory schedule: • 110 minutes of lectures per week • 2 hours and 50 minutes of laboratory per week Contribution of course to professional education: This course provides the basic tools for performing land survying and often allows students to intern as field engineering perosnel during their engineering program. Evaluation methods: 1. Midterm Exam 2. Quizzes 3. Field Books & Homework 4. Final Exam Students with disabilities are encouraged to consult with the UTSA Disability Services ( http://www.utsa.edu/disability/ ) for arrangements accommodating any special needs. Performance criteria: Course outcomes 1 through 5 are evaluated by all methods 1 through 4. In addition, Senior Design (CE 4813). projects that involve surveying are evaluated by the CEE Advisory Board.

I recommend that you check Blackboard for announcements, hints on assignments, and other important information. Grades for quizzes, homework, tests, and the final exam will also be posted on Blackboard. Attendance: Students are encouraged to watch the lectures and must attend all Lectures and Labs meetings. Quizzes and exams will take place on Mondays. University policy states that when a student fails to drop a course, even if the student does not attend the course, he/she will receive a grade of "F" in the class. Homework: • Class assignments & Papers are due at the beginning of the class on Monday. Late homework will not be accepted unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor. • Lab assignments are due at the beginning of the Lab one week from when they are assigned. • Solutions to the homework problems will be posted after homework is turned in. Class Folder All students are required to submit an organized class folder at the beginning of the final exam. The class folder must contain all Notes, Handouts, HW, quizzes, and exams. The folders will be returned to the students by the instructor the following week, if you want to pick it up. Papers Format

Any scholastic dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, collusion, etc) on homework, quizzes, and lab forms will result in a zero on the assignment if it occurs on projects, papers, or examinations it will result in a Failing grade in the class. Please refer to the UTSA’s Student Code of Conduct as related to s cholastic dishonesty and the disciplinary actions involved ( http://www.utsa.edu/infoguide/appendices/b.html ).
