| Syllabus |
| COURSE RATIONALE: This course is intended to give the student the necessary computational background to carry out the calculations required in the solution of surveying problems. It is also intended to give the student the skills necessary to prepare final deliverable products such as survey maps/sketches, as well as tabulated data. The course is a follow-on course to Basic Surveying I and is offered in the second semester of the first year after the student completes the prerequisites.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: 1. To enable the student to make the necessary computations and adjustments to field data to produce a completed traverse. 2. To enable the student to prepare the final products typically required, such as plots and site plans. COURSE OUTLINE: I. Math Review and Conversions A. Error Theory Analysis and Corrections II. Distance Corrections A. Length B. Slope C. Temperature D. Combined Corrections E. EDM Correction Factors III. Level Circuit Corrections A. Math Correctons B. Adjustment IV. Traverse Operations A. Math Check B. Angle Adjustment C. Latitudes and Departures D. Precision and Adjustments E. Calculating Coordinates F. Area by Coordinates V. Coordinates in Construction A. Direct B. Inverse VI. Preparation of Site Plans A. Stadia B. Topo Features C. Plat Preparation D. Site Plan Preparation VI. LAB A. Introduction to Survey Drawing B. Mapping Scales and Symbols C. Legal Descriptions and Plot Plans D. Contour Lines E. Profiles F. Layout G. Introduction to Surveying CAD Software H. Introduction to Geographic and Land Information Systems COMPUTER USAGE: Introduction and use of software applications for surveying such as: Wolfpack C & G Survey CAD Design Packages CALCULUS USAGE: None LIBRARY USAGE: None ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS: Written homework assignments. Oral presentation to class on preparation of individually developed site plans prepared during course. Prepared by: Mike Besch, Course Leader Program Director: Mike Besch |
