This course emphasizes the fundamental elements of Surveying in Civil Engineering to provide a broad overview of the instrumentation in Surveying procedures, measurement corrections, and reductions, survey references (datum), and also the calculation necessary to produce a topographic overview of an area for engineering and design-related projects.
Fundamentals of terrestrial surveying measurements include leveling, distances, and angle
measurements to compute Orthometric heights relative to a vertical survey datum and 2-D Cartesian
coordinates in a horizontal survey datum for engineering projects. Topics on photogrammetry
include photography scale and coordinate computation of features in imagery. Basic elements of
map design and production methods are introduced.
