Description: | The forming and building of landscapes with emphasis on the values of "sustainability." Includes introduction to landscape engineering: grading, drainage, and roadway alignment. | | Oasis Title: | Landscape Engineering Process | Semester Course
Offered: | Offered fall semester every year. | | Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
| | Course Objectives: | Students will be able to explain the relationships between
contour lines, land forms, and water flow.
Students will be able to discuss the role grading and drainage
play in landscape architectural design.
Students will be able to define the acceptable slope ranges
needed for accessibility, water drainage, and erosion control.
Students will be able to identify landforms on a contour map
and create scaled cross sections from a contour map.
Students will be able to prepare basic grading plans for
roads, parking lots, and building swales.
Students will be able to calculate horizontal and vertical
curves for roadway design.
Students will be able to calculate the amount of storm water
runoff on a site and size drainage structures accordingly.
Students will be able to calculate cut and fill volumes for
grading plans.
Students will be able to list the consequences of selecting
either surface or subsurface drainage systems.
Students will be able to create grading plans that respond
sensitively to the existing landscape as well as considering
human use of the landscape. | | Topical Outline: | I-USGS MAP READING
