As such, it is the equivalent of work experience. Many of the skills worked on in previous courses are further developed and improved in this course. Students work for the year with an outside client of their choosing in a topic that is of benefit to that client, is approved by faculty and is related both to their interests and to their abilities. These projects have frequently led to employment. Site Engineering Students are trained to solve a number of municipal and environmental engineering problems related to the location and servicing of land developments.
Emphasis is based on problem-solving.
CAD is explored as a engineering design tool and for facility management. The course provides three training components. The first component examines computer hardware management and maintenance. Students are required to assemble and disassemble a microcomputer to familiarize themselves with the maintenance, upgrading and management of a networked micro-computer. Students are assigned an introductory tutorial and are then given a specific application to customize using the ArcView software.
