WDCECourse Descriptions
CDT - Construction and Design Technologies
CDT123
Drywall Finishing and Repair
This course is designed for the homeowner or handyman who wants to be able to repair drywall, install corner beams, and tape and finish seams. Knives (6" and 12") and pan are included.
CDT142
TOPCON Total Station
This training is designed to introduce advantages, and explore the capabilities of TOPCON Total Station Surveying Instruments. This training will also cover the operational aspects of the TOPCON Total Station Model GTS 223. Participants will use a hands-on application to reinforce concepts and knowledge learned during the course.
CDT143
Concrete Countertops
Various techniques of fabricating concrete countertops are reinforced using hands-on applications. Topics include concrete mixtures, additives, colorants, and sealing techniques. Reinforcement and timing considerations are demonstrated. Grinding and finishing techniques are applied to samples and poured in class.
CDT149
GIS for Survey & Design
Understand sources and types of available GIS data and how to integrate this data into your survey and design processes. Various types of geodetic projections are discussed, and methods are demonstrated to gather data from various projections into your work environment. Explore data that includes high resolution aerial orthographic photography, USGS quandrangle data, mapped soils, FEMA flood plain data, public road information, property data, and lidar surfaces utilizing Autodesk Civil 3D, Autodesk Map, and Autodesk Raster Design while the methodology applies to any GIS capable software.
CDT150
More Than Survey Points
Learn to process survey point data beyond basic ascii import. Methods of fieldbook reduction are investigated and techniques that will classify, organize, protect, and add graphic information to incoming points are covered. Methods of creating linework in the field (survey figures) and getting this information into the design environment are also covered. Autodesk Civil 3D is utilized while the techniques apply to Land Development Desktop and many other survey capable applications.
