EGR 110 - Engineering Surveying
Credits: 4
3 Lecture Hours 2 Lab Hours
Co-requisites: MAT 114 or previous knowledge of Trigonometry
Description
This course is a study of topographic surveying and mapping. Topics include construction surveys and layout, boundary surveys, determination of land areas, methods of collecting and recording data, field and office computations, control surveys, topographic mapping, care and use of surveying equipment, GPS systems, and surveying software. Emphasis will focus on topographic surveys using total stations with data collection. Field work includes use of transits, total stations, electronic distance meters, surveyors’ tapes, differential levels and data collectors, horizontal measurements, leveling, and angle and direction measurement.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Describe the various instruments and related equipment used in surveying.
