Course objectives:
To provide a basic understanding of conventional surveying methods and techniques.
Course Contents:
Basic survey measurements, angle measurements using sextants and theodolites, balancing angles; taping, tacheometry, electronic angle and distance measurements, total stations and reflector less EDM (Electronic Distance measurements) ; traverses; coordinate geometry; differential leveling, Barometric and trigonometric heighting, effects of curvature and refraction; geodetic control surveys.
Practical Learning:
Horizontal and vertical angle measurements; distance measurements; traverses; levelling methods, including levelling from bench marks to tide staff; intersection and resection; CAD software training
Expected Learning Outcome:
By the end of this course students are expected to gain basic understanding of conventional surveying methods and techniques. As well to know the horizontal and vertical angle measurements; distance measurements; traverses; levelling methods.
