Outcomes Objectives
Students will know the fundamental concepts of engineering surveying a 1
Students will demonstrate the ability to determine the distances and off-setting a, e, b 1
by linear surveying .
Students will know the meaning of bearing of line and to determine it by a, b, e 1
Compass.
Students will demonstrate the ability to make any type of traverses and the a, e 1
methods for corrections.
Students will demonstrate the ability to make leveling for ground and input the a, b, e ,d 1
site data into a booking then to draw a longitudinal section or a contour map
(contouring)
