CET 244 — Principles of Land Development
This course covers the fundamental concepts of site and subdivision planning, with emphasis on applying zoning codes, subdivision ordinances, and related regulatory frameworks. Students develop conceptual subdivision layouts and perform design calculations leading to preliminary construction drawings. Through the collaborative project, students plan grading, roadway, and utility systems using industry-standard software, while integrating traffic analysis, and stormwater management practices. The course highlights interdisciplinary teamwork, digital collaboration, and professional communication, culminating in iterative design development that reflects contemporary land-development engineering standards.
