Parent Project: Introduction to Heavy Civil Engineering Operations and Equipment Management
Course:
Teaser Description:

In this module we will look at some of the state-of-art technologies in heavy civil operations, their current impact, and potential future. Specifically, 2D and 3D visual analytics are evaluated for automated reality capture and control of heavy civil operations using photogrammetry and 3D laser scanners, respectively. You will also be introduced to some of the robotics applications that can assist with harsh heavy construction environments.

Parent Project: Building Science Fundamentals
Teaser Description:

In this module, solar radiation and the resulting effects on buildings are studied.  The module begins by examining the fundamentals of solar geometry including how solar geometry varies with position on the earth, and how it varies from hour to hour, from day to day and from season to season.  Then, the interaction between solar radiation and buildings is explored including solar gains and shading.
