Surveying 3 KGG320
Please note that students are required to have a scientific programmable calculator (e.g. HP 35s) for this unit.
Introduction
In this unit students apply previously acquired knowledge of spatial measurement techniques, instrumentation and software to a range of specific surveying tasks e.g. industrial metrology, construction surveying (monument selection, control networks and set out techniques), road design (horizontal and vertical curves), deformation and monitoring applications, hydrographic surveying, cadastral surveying and GNSS surveying. Case studies and guest lectures from professional practitioners are a key feature of this unit, and provide a real-world context to the material covered in lectures and the best-practice element to tasks undertaken in practical and tutorial sessions. Students are also introduced to the professional aspects of a surveyor's role in society and in particular, the importance of ethics and accountability in the work that they do.
