Course Description:
The course presents engineering graphics and design and the fundamental concepts of AutoCAD as it
relates to civil and construction engineering. The course will introduce the reading of
civil/construction plans, comprehending scale, engineering graphic standards and operation of
software. Students participate in a team design project that focuses on the applied development
process of a subdivision. By end of the term, students will have a portfolio set of drawings for a
proposed subdivision development. Detail drawings assigned to augment subdivision project ranging
from terrain modeling, transportation, and structural.

2. Work in teams to accomplish a variety of tasks. Includes ability to communicate, manage time, meet
deadlines, resolve conflicts, etc.
3. Apply selected engineering design processes for creating a subdivision development: import survey
points, create surfaces (TIN/contours), design lots, design a street alignment, and prepare a street
profile. Create a site plan for a lot in the subdivision.
Textbook:
Leach. AutoCAD 2008 Companion: Essentials of AutoCAD Plus Solid Modeling.
(McGraw Hill, 2008). ISBN 978-0-07-340246-8
Required-- Engineering scale –small pocket scale approx. 4-6 inches in length.
You should download Autodesk’s AutoCAD and Civil 3D software (free for 1 year) for your laptop:
1. Sign up at the Student Engineering and Design Community:
http://students6.autodesk.com/
2. When you enter your email account it will only take Yourname@oregonstate.edu or
Yourname@onid.orst.edu as a recognized email address
3. Write down the registration code, registration ID, your user name and password.
4. Download the software program AutoCAD and Civil 3D.Unzip/install. Recommend
downloading on OSU computers and burning to CD for your laptop.
5. Email Autodesk for activation (authorization code).
6. Enter the activation code and your software is ready to operate for one year
Course Grades:
Course grades will be based upon examination of course work. A final exam is only required if your
total course grade prior to the final exam is 89.99% or less. To determine your grade at any time
prior to the final, use the following percentages and formula:
Your course percentage = [(Sum your percent score on quizzes)*.40 + (SUM your percent scores on
HW+Labs) * 0.45 + (Team project percent score) * .15] * 100%
If you are required to take the final exam, the following percentages and formula will be used to
determine your final course grade:
Your course percentage = [(Sum your percent score on quizzes)*.25 + (SUM your percent scores on
HW+Labs+Projects) * 0.375 + (Team project percent score) * .125 + (Final exam percent score) * .
25] * 100%
Homework/Lab:
Homework is instrumental in helping you grasp fundamental concepts and in exposing you to
knowledge, techniques and skills for applying these principles to real-life situations. Homework
should be done in several sittings; you cannot expect to be successful doing homework quickly the
night before it is due. You may discuss homework problems with your classmates but please try them
on your own first and DO NOT COPY someone else’s SOLUTIONS. Additionally, solutions
must be written up independently. You can not work together and then both turn in the same
work. If this occurs you will both get zeros. Last, DO NOT EMAIL your solutions to anyone.
Late work policy: Late work is accepted up to one week after the date/time due for 50% credit. No
work is accepted after 1 week. This policy is applied to all late work, regardless of reason. This
policy does not apply to the term project.
ACAD drawing(s) size (8.5”x11”, 11”x17”, or 24”x36”) and media type will be assigned in class.
Team Project:
Students will be assigned to teams by instructor to work through the engineering design process of
designing a subdivision and to create a set of proposal plans. This will include: designing lots, street
alignment, street profile/sections and details. At the end of the course student teams will submit a
project portfolio (set of drawing plans) and one 18”x24” drawing to act as a poster for display.
Student projects are due Thursday of dead week (last week of school before final exam). Students
may submit a portfolio check-set earlier for feedback. Teams will receive a team grade for the group
project. Team members will be expected to provide feedback to the instructor on both their own and

their teammate’s participation in the team project. Individual grades may be adjusted based on this
feedback.
Class Attendance:
You should attend every class and participate in discussion. If you do miss class, it is your
responsibility to find out the material covered by contacting a classmate in the class and/or by
checking Blackboard. Do not assume blackboard lists comprehensive content covered in the day’s
class, check with a classmate.
Disruptive Behavior:
While the University is a place where the free exchange of ideas and concepts allows for debate and
disagreement, all classroom behavior and discourse should reflect the values of respect and civility.
Behaviors which are disruptive to the learning environment will not be tolerated. As your instructors,
we are dedicated to establishing a learning environment that promotes diversity of race, culture,
gender, sexual orientation, and physical disability. Anyone noticing discriminatory behavior in this
class, or feeling discriminated against should bring it to the attention of the instructors or other
University personnel as appropriate.
Academic dishonesty is defined as an intentional act of deception in one of the following areas:
Cheating- use or attempted use of unauthorized materials, information or study aids
Fabrication- falsification or invention of any information
Assisting- helping another commit an act of academic dishonesty. Helping another commit an act
of academic dishonesty, such as emailing your solution to a friend (even to just look at) or
bribing someone to acquire a test or assignment, changing someone's grades or academic
records, or taking a test/doing an assignment for someone else (or allowing someone to do these
things for you). It is a violation of Oregon state law to create and offer to sell part or all of an
education assignment to another person (ORS 165.114).
Tampering- altering or interfering with evaluation instruments and documents
Plagiarism- representing the words or ideas of another person as one's own
When evidence of academic dishonesty comes to the instructor's attention, the instructor will
document the incident, permit the accused student to provide an explanation, advise the student of
possible penalties, and take action. The instructor may impose any academic penalty up to and
including an "F" grade in the course after consulting with his or her department chair and informing
the student of the action taken.
Disability:

Civil Engineering 201, Engineering Graphics and Design, Fall 2007
Accommodations are collaborative efforts between students, faculty and Disability Access
Services (DAS). Students with accommodations approved through DAS are responsible for
contacting the faculty member in charge of the course prior to or during the first week of the
term to discuss accommodations. Students who believe they are eligible for
accommodations but who have not yet obtained approval through DAS should contact DAS
immediately at 737-4098.
