Construction Documents In Construction Materials and Methods courses, students learn the core concepts of site grading, creating planting schedules, irrigation systems and site lighting design, utilizing the Land F/X software suite. Students were required to generate scale 24�x36� construction sheets and companioning construction manuals.

Through the process, students generated 3D surface models in Civil 3D, used the End Area Method of earthwork estimations of cut and fi ll on site, calculated pressure loss tables for critical irrigation sections and developed lighting plans.
