Overview

Surveying is the science of measuring and mapping features on the Earth's surface. Mapping of features is an important step for the transformation of ideas into reality for projects requiring the development of land and infrastructure. The services of the surveyor may be required at many stages for a construction project or the development of land. This course introduces the student to surveying equipment, services, theory, measurement techniques and survey calculation's at an introductory level.

Course learning outcomes

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On completion of this course, students should be able to:

  1. express a broad understanding of surveying theory and its application;
  2. describe a range of surveying field practices;
  3. demonstrate and apply angular measurement methods;
  4. demonstrate and apply distance measurement methods;
  5. demonstrate and apply survey adjustment techniques to data from a survey traverse;
  6. solve plane coordinate problems;
  7. solve area and volumetric problems; and
  8. use an automatic level to undertake a level traverse and correctly reduce the data.
