Subject Description | The objective of this subject is to introduce the theory and practice of the calculations required for plane surveys and setting out. Plane Surveying: area and volume computations, curve setting out for route surveying, automated "field-to-finish" surveys, topographic surveys, use of computer packages for survey data reduction and plotting. Introduction to GPS. Professional Aspects: Introduction to the geomatics profession and the different disciplines such as geodesy, cadastral surveying, engineering surveying, hydrography, mining surveying, land development, remote sensing, land and geographic information systems and photogrammetry. |
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 |
