ENGINEERING SURVEY focus on the basic principles of levelling and total station traverse survey. This course emphasizes the basic distance measurement, bearing and angle in order to get the shape of terrain and the position on the field. It also gives knowledge and practical skills to students in operating and handling survey instruments, control survey, detail survey, data collection or acquisition, calculation and plotting of survey works. The course emphasis on the method used to carry out surveying works especially data collection or acquisition to produce plan based on the scope of work. It also gives exposure to the need for accurate data to be used for other surveying work.
Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:
CLO1 : Apply correctly the fundamental principles and practices of surveying work. ( C3 , PLO1 )
CLO2 : Perform Civil Engineering Survey works using appropriate instrument based on standard procedure and current surveying instrument. (P3 ,PLO5)
CLO3 : Initiate positive leadership and team work by contributing actively in groups during fieldwork that yield valid results. ( A3 , PLO9 )
