The objective of this subject is to present advanced concepts in surveying, including precise positioning.

The content includes 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 five 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 workplace environment.

Not more than three 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. The relative weighting of the assessment components will be published at the commencement of the subject.
