PREREQUISITES: MATH 122 - Applied Technical Mathematics or MATH 136 - College Algebra or MATH 137 - Trigonometry with Analytic Geometry
PROGRAM: Design Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2011
This course provides students with a basic understanding of surveying equipment, procedures for performing measurements, turning angles, determining grades and other field applications. Surveying techniques and computations using the level, chain, and transit in calculating areas, lines, and grades will be covered in this course.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Tape on sloping ground, (holding the tape and plumb bob in the various positions required for taping horizontally), employing voice signals, and recording entries in the field notebook. Distance should have an accuracy of 1:3000.
- Complete a level circuit of four turning points with an error not greater then .01 ft.
- Given an engineer’s level, demonstrate the proper procedure for setting it up and for reading the rod.
- Convert bearings to azimuths and azimuths to bearings.
- Compute bearing and distance from the origin to the point.
COURSE CONTENT: Topical areas of study include -
- Tapes
- Levels
- Theodolites
- Total stations
- Traverse surveys
- Latitudes and departures
- Traverse adjustments
