Land Development Engineering
Publication: Residential Land Development Practices: A Textbook on Developing Land into Finished Lots
Abstract
Most civil and environmental engineering programs at the college or university level are centered on the four primary and historical civil engineering disciplines: transportation engineering, structural engineering, environmental engineering, and geotechnical engineering. This chapter examines why civil engineers consider land development engineering as their career path. Details are provided on some courses offered by the University of North Carolina Charlotte (UNCC), the only 4-year university to offer land development engineering as an alternative engineering discipline and a concentration within a civil and environmental engineering department. These courses include Land Development Engineering Fundamentals, Land Development Engineering Advanced Site Analysis, Land Development Engineering Studio, and Land Development Engineering—Storm Drainage Design.
