The Civil Engineering Draftsman Passbook(R) prepares you for your test by allowing you to take practice exams in the subjects you need to study.

"This text provides straightforward and comprehensive coverage of civil drafting technology and mapping. It includes survey types, plots, plan and profile, contours, and earthworks. Input and ideas from the industry, specifically civil engineering companies, offer students a well-rounded view of the civil drafting field and the types of drawings and skills associated with it."--BOOK JACKET.

A real life civil design project for site development is recreated through each chapter in this book to prepare readers for what to expect when working in the field. Coverage begins by introducing the basic setups and standards that anyone beginning a civil design CAD project should know, then moves on to the fundamental concepts common to most civil engineering projects such as grading, contours, and surveying. Readers will then explore the process of creating different types of drawings typically necessary for civil design and see how changing parts of a design can affect the entire project process. The book concludes with methods for estimating quantities for the different types of materials and work that will likely be encountered in an actual drafting assignment.

This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. Civil Drafting Technology Seventh Edition covers it all–basic and advanced topics–and everything in between, equipping readers to convert engineering sketches or instructions into actual formal drawings and gain a working knowledge of mapping. Using a “knowledge building” format where one concept is mastered before the next is introduced, Civil Drafting Technology includes: Basic Drafting Topics Maps: fundamentals, types of maps, scales, symbols CADD: use, standards, applications Intermediate/Advanced Topics Measuring distance and elevation, Surveying, Location & Direction, Legal Descriptions and Plot Plans, Contour Lines, Horizontal Alignment Layout, GIS Career Development Schooling, Employment, Workplace Ethics, Professional Organizations CADD Applications Content-related Tests Real-world drafting and design problems
