CIAC-1010Site Investigation
A range of data must be collected and analyzed to prepare a site for the construction process. In this course, internationally educated architecture, engineering, and construction professionals will explore how Manitoba soil and environmental conditions impact engineering design and construction detailing by working through a typical site investigation process. Students will regionalize their preexisting knowledge of survey and soil sciences and gain foundational insight into local soil conditions and surveying practices. Current survey practices, soil classification and testing methodologies will be applied to real-world engineering projects, providing valuable experience for the students’ capstone projects and Co-op work terms.
