Subject Description

The objective of this subject is to present advanced concepts in surveying, including precise positioning. Contents include introduction to GIS; operational and QA aspects of electronic distance measurement; trigonometric and precise levelling; aspects of road design; and an introduction to practices in control, underground engineering and industrial surveying. A residential field course, usually of 5 days duration, forms a component of this subject. The field course is typically held at Creswick in November and its aims are to consolidate practical skills and to gain experience in working as a team in a realistic work-place environment.

Assessment

Not more than 3 hours of written examinations and tests, and not more than 100 pages of written assignments and reports on practical work. The field camp forms a compulsory component of the assessment.
