Introduction to Surveying
The course covers the basic concepts of surveying as it relates to civil engineering by providing both technical knowledge and practical experience. Students will learn the basics of surveying theory, how to use and properly care for surveying instruments, how to record field data (mainly, distances, angles, and height differences) and how to interpret and utilize the collected data. Emphasis will be placed on practical applications of the material studied, specifically civil applications. Such applications include survey planning and associated survey computations, traverse surveys, earthwork computation; detail surveying; and setting out engineering structures and construction projects.
