Minor Engineering Certificate

Certificate Requirements:

• SURV 226 - Minor Engineering I - Zoning, Subdivision, and Road Design 3 Credits.
• SURV 236 - Minor Engineering II - Sediment Control and Hydrology 3 Credits.
• SURV 241 - Minor Engineering III - Storm Drain Design 3 Credits.
• SURV 243 - Minor Engineering IV - Storm Water Management 3 Credits.

Total Credits Required for Certificate: 12*

*A new college orientation requirement, completion of the one-credit ACDV 101  course, Transitioning to College, went into effect spring 2010. If you are a credit student who is new to college (meaning you have not successfully completed college coursework at another institution(s)), you are required to take ACDV 101  during your first semester at CCBC, thereby increasing the number of credits required for the certificate to 13 credits. Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) in order for this requirement to be waived.

Program Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this certificate, students will be able to:

1. use the Certificate to substitute for hydrology experience in the State Surveyors Licensing process;
2. design water control features such as storm drains, drainage pipes and ditches, catchment ponds, and other storm water disposal systems as determined by Federal, State, and Local accuracies and specifications;
3. apply mathematical methods to interpret and refine field data to determine accuracy and precision of field data; and
4. apply Federal, State, and Local Laws, Standards, and Regulations to guarantee the safe and proper management of Storm Water runoff during construction and land management use within Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

Program Description

This certificate completes Maryland Surveying License Requirements for storm drain/storm water experience.
