Coordinator: Mr. C. L. Ogleby
Contact: 39 hours of lectures and 39 hours of tutorial and practice classes
Timetable: First semester
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this subject the student should:
- have an understanding of the basic theory and practice involved in plane surveying
- be competent in the use and calibration of instruments relating to plane surveying
- be capable of using available resources to assimilate and present technical information
Content:
Plane Surveying: Plane surveying coordinate systems, linear distance measurement, differential levelling - instrumentation and calibration, electronic distance measurement, theodolite - measurements and calibration, 2-D and 3-D theodolite and distance traversing.Communication: Study methods, examination techniques, types of written technical communication, oral presentation of material and use of library resources.
Assessment:
Not more than three-hours of written examinations and tests and not more than the equivalent of 100 pages of written assignments and reports on practical work. The relative weighting of the assessment components will be published at the commencement of the subject.
