• Scoping visits will be conducted to determine the extent of the project and types of activities needed for successful planning and design.  Visits will be made to determine survey boundaries, right-of-way issues, utility involvement, possible environmental impacts and any other design and construction obstacles.
• Field work and inspections will involve data collection for site conditions, scope of hydraulic analysis, social, economic, environmental and archaeological requirements, unique project requirements and regulatory requirements.
• CAD Drafting is Computer-aided design for the creation, modification and analysis of plans which must convey information on materials, processes, layouts, calculations, dimensions and tolerances, as well as simulations.  Engineering Interns will be introduced to the CAD programs used by Cabbiness Engineering for design projects through one-on-one teaching sessions.
