100 College of Applied Science and Technology CMT 4830 - Directed Studies Credits: (1-3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Spring [Full Sem] Summer [Full Sem] The student will receive credit for approved studies in an area not covered in the CMT program. Credit and time determined by the student and faculty advisor. Prerequisite: Junior or Senior standing and consent of instructor. May be repeated up to 9 credit hours. CMT 4890 - Practicum Credits: (2) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Spring [Full Sem] Summer [Full Sem] Supervised work experience in the construction industry with placement and course objectives approved by the faculty supervisor. This course can be used to help the student satisfy the CMT program requirement of 800 hours of approved supervised work experience. Ethics as it related to construction mangement will be discussed. Prerequisite: CMT 2880 . May be repeated up to 9 credit hours. CMT 4899 - BS Graduation Assessment and Signoff Credits: (o) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Spring [Full Sem] Summer [Full Sem] This course includes final assessment (e.g., exit interviews) and signoff needed for graduation with a BS degree from the program. Contact your advisor during your last semester before graduation to complete this requirement. CMT 4920 - Short Courses, Workshops, Institutes, and Special Programs Credits: (.5-4) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Spring [Full Sem] Summer [Full Sem] Consult the semester class schedule for the current offering under this number. The specific title and credit authorized for the particular offering will appear on the student transcript. Prerequisite: Junior or Senior standing and consent of instructor. May be repeated up to 4 credit hours. CMT 5100 - Civil Engineering and Architecture Credits: (5) CEA is designed to help students understand the fields and career possibilities in civil engineering and architecture. Students gain an understanding of the process of developing land into a viable building as they explore the role and skills used by architects and civil engineers during the process of planning a site and designing a building. The course meets for a total of 75 hours over a two-week period and focuses on the content as well as teaching methods appropriate for the course. This course is designed specifically and only for current high school teachers who have been assigned by their schools and districts to teach the Project Lead the Way courses. This course carries graduate credit for those teachers who would use it for recertification. Department of Engineering Department Chair: Kirk D. Hagen Location: Building 4, Room 421 Telephone Contact: Susan Foss 801-626-6898 Email: susanfoss@weber.edu Professor: Kirk Hagen; Associate Professor: Jeffrey Ward; Assistant Professors: Fon Brown, Justin Jackson Engineering is the application of science and mathematics to the optimum conversion of the resources of nature to the uses of humankind. More specifically, engineering is the creative application of scientific principles to design and develop devices, systems and processes to satisfy the needs of society. Engineering is a broad field, consisting of a variety of disciplines such as biomedical, chemical, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. For example, biomedial engineers design artificial organs and diagnostic systems to detect and treat diseases. Chemical engineers design fuels, plastics and drugs. Civil engineers design roads, buildings, bridges and water treatment plants. Electrical and electronics engineers design computers, communication devices and power control systems. Mechanical engineers design machines, spacecraft, power plants and heating and air-conditioning systems. The Department of Engineering houses two academic programs, Electronics Engineering and Pre-Engineering. The Electronics Engineering Program prepares the student to enter the engineering industry or graduate school in the discipline. The Pre-Engineering Program constitutes the first two years of a bachelor's program and prepares the student to transfer to another institution to complete the four-year engineering degree. The Engineering Department offers a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Electronics Engineering and an Associate of Pre-Engineering (APE) degree. Pre-Engineering (APE) • Grade Requirements: A minimum overall GPA of 2.00 is required. • Credit Hour Requirements: A minimum of 60 credit hours is required. A minimum of 20 hours in residence (for transfer students). The Associate of Pre-Engineering (APE) degree at Weber State University offers the first two years of a professional engineering curriculum. The degree is designed to prepare students for transfer into an engineering program at other universities in Utah, or throughout the United States, that offer four-year engineering degrees. Because many pre- engineering graduates will transfer to the University of Utah or Utah State University, the WSU Pre-Engineering program has official transfer agreements with these two schools. In planning a program of study, students should be aware that mostpre-engineering courses have mathematics and science prerequisites and that improper scheduling of courses can lengthen the time required to complete the Weber State University 2013-2014 Catalog
