This Course Introduces

This course introduces students to the basics of surveying. Key topics covered include the use of surveying instruments like transits, total stations, and auto levels to measure distances, slopes, and perform closed traverses. Students will learn how to reduce field data, calculate earthworks, and introduce geodetic surveying. The objectives are to expose students to different surveying techniques and types of errors, and teach practical application. Upon completion, students will be able to perform distance, angle, and leveling measurements, estimate distances and areas, apply error adjustments, and tackle situations requiring tachometry or geodetic surveying. Assessment includes quizzes, assignments, and classroom activities using various teaching tools.

Course Description:

Surveying is the most useful and necessary part in Civil Engineering. In the present
curriculum the following topics are discussed. Introduction to the care and use of optical
surveying instruments, Transits, Total Stations and Auto Levels, use of cloth tapes, steel
tapes and electronic distance machines, reduction of slope measurements to horizontal
and vertical components, Measurement, field data reduction and adjustment of a closed
traverse, Horizontal and Vertical curves, earthwork, and coordinates, Extensive field
work, field notes and electronic data collection, introduction to geodetic surveying and
Triangulation surveying.

Objective:
This course introduces the basics of surveying and exposes different techniques of
surveying; types of errors encountered in different types of surveying and help the
students to learn the field applicability of the different survey methods.
Course Outcomes
On completion of this course, the students will be able to
1. Learn about basics involved in different types of surveying like tape, compass,
leveling, and theodolite (total station).
2. Demonstrate skills in performing measurement of distance, angles, leveling, and curve
setting.
3. Develop skills for estimating distance between given points, area of a given plot and
earthwork involved in cuttings and fillings.
4. Develop skill to carry out tachometry, geodetic surveying wherever situation demands.
5. Develop skills to apply error adjustment to the recorded reading to get an accurate
surveying output.
