Survey and Transportation Laboratory, CIE 107
Faculty Contact: Dr. Donald Andersen
Overview of the Lab
The Surveying and Transportation laboratory equipment includes various surveying instruments and transportation software, which are installed in the Civil Engineering Computer Cluster.
Laboratory Equipment and Instruments
Among software in the cluster used by transportation students and for transportation instruction and research are AutoCAD2011, AutoCAD Land Development, AutoCAD Map, AutoCAD CAD Overlay, Microstation, Eagle Point, Synchro and Sim Traffic from Trafficware, WinPAS (Pavement Analysis for Windows), PCAPAV and Highway Capacity Software (HCS2002). Transportation graduate students and faculty also have access to GIS software such as IDRISI and ESRI's Arcview and Arcinfo. Much of transportation laboratory work is done using software and involves data collection and use of simulation, CAD and GIS.
Surveying instruments include;
- Leveling equipment
- Theodolites
- Total stations
Laboratory Courses
The surveying instruments are used in the surveying course, which is typically taken by undergraduates at their sophomore level.
- CE 204 Surveying
