Please note that students are required to have a scientific programmable calculator (e.g. HP 35s) for this unit.
Introduction
Applies acquired knowledge of spatial measurement techniques and associated instrumentation to develop an improved understanding of a range of specific surveying applications including: 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 surveying with Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS. Case study examples from various applications of Surveying in industrial practices provide a real world context to material covered in the lectures and undertaken in allocated practical sessions.
