ENGR 061 — Plane Surveying 3 Units
This course is designed for students majoring in civil engineering or construction management. It offers an extensive exploration of plane surveying, involving the application of theoretical principles and concepts, office computations, and the operation of surveying field equipment. The course also delves into the production of engineering plans and maps. Students will engage with various topics, including distance measurements, angle and direction calculations, differential leveling, traversing, property and boundary surveys, topographic surveys, volume and earthwork computations, analysis of horizontal and vertical curves, land description techniques, and the utilization of GPS technology. Throughout the course, students will gain hands-on experience through substantial fieldwork, where they will utilize tools such as tapes, levels, transits, theodolites, total stations, and GPS equipment to reinforce their practical skills and understanding of surveying techniques.
