[Course] CE390 [Title] CIVIL ENGINEERING SITE DESIGN [Crdts] 3.5 [Department] Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering [Scope] 
This course provides cadets the necessary background to select and develop sites for civil engineering structures as well as review the work of others. Proper site selection and engineering have a significant impact on the economics of a project and long-term utility of the constructed facility. Specifically, the course covers the skills of determining site layout and access, establishing site contour and drainage, installation of utilities, elementary surveying, creation of drawings using a computer aided drafting package, and the development of environmental impact statements. In the theater of operations, this background is critical to the success of missions related to construction of roads, runways, base-camps and other engineered military works.
