Learning Outcomes

Learners will be able to explain how site engineering can be applied for slope stabilization, stormwater management, landscape aesthetics, and achieving sustainability goals of minimizing disturbance and preserving natural features of the land.

Learners will be able to discuss the role of soil site engineering and the need to investigate soil conditions prior to initiating site development.

Learners will be able to describe how sites are engineered to manage stormwater and controlling erosion by creating drainage systems, buffer zones, sediment traps, and establishing slope stabilization.

Learners will be able to site grading practices for stairs and ramps, retaining walls, and slopes, and they will be able to describe safe practices for earth moving work.
