The course introduces us to construction materials, including types of soils, aggregates involved in concrete and asphalt mix, and their applications in civil engineering projects. We’re introduced to engineering standards and the standard test methods associated with these construction materials.
👉 Atterberg Limit lab & Compaction lab 1
👉 Aggregates Physical lab 2 (sorting by unwanted physical shapes, texture contaminant with asphalt)
👉 Unreinforced Concrete Best Mix lab 3

👉 Ashphalt lab 4
The course introduces us to Excel spreadsheets, tender documents, the reading of engineering drawings and basic estimation techniques.
Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, Numeracy, Information Management, and Communication are the skills we need for today’s Engineering workplace.
WEEK 1: WEEK 2: IF functions WEEK 3: sum functions, count functions, average functions, Date and Time functions
WEEK 4: Math rounding & Trig functions, VLookup and HLookup functions, Logical (and,or) functions
WEEK 5: Text and Information function
We develop understanding and application of practical standards from organizations such as the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO), Ontario Provincial Standards (OPS), and municipal requirements. We then explore the application of these standards in CAD design and Appendix specification writing. Topics includes:
👉 Ontario Provincial Standards (OPS), OPSSpecification and OPSDrawings
👉 Roadside safety 3hr hybrid session (Book 7) externally provided by Safety Co. Partners - WEEK 3
👉 Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) - WEEK 6
👉 Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) and Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) - WEEK 7
👉 Conservation Authorities - WEEK 8
👉 WEEK 10: City of Barrie and Inisfill Municipal Document

Submission 2: Keep the required agenda materials, but kept in mind what Tim’s said: show up to present our work to potential Client(s) -> less “too technical”, more “ppropose the development” (and have Tim himself attended as the Contract Supervisor)

We explore structures’ behavior in static equilibrium, we evaluate external and internal reaction forces due to applied forces and reaction forces in members and joints of a structure.
Expanding upon the topics from SURV1001, we continue to develop intricate surveying skills.
❖ We practiced self and peer evaluation to improve presentation skills and are expected to develop professionalism as speakers and listeners in order to meet the learning outcomes.
❖ In this course, we had design and deliver a series of presentations that build our skills in storytelling, “how to” explanations, persuasion, and visual communication. The focus stays on clarity, audience connection, and using their voice and media in ways that support the speaker, not just slides.
