COURSE NAME FUNDAMENTALS OF SURVEYING 1 (CE 211)
COURSE DESCRIPTION This course deals with measurement of distance and distance corrections, the use of surveying instruments, area computations,
balancing the traverse, elevation determination, and leveling; Stadia surveying, topographic surveying, triangulation and trilateration,
missing data, irregular boundaries, and global positioning system.
Proper handling and utilization of surveying instrument will be taken. Students will learn how to perform measurement of distance
and apply distance corrections, use and proper handling of surveying instruments, and perform calculations related to area
computations, latitude and departure computations, DMD and DPD methods of land area determination, balancing the traverse,
elevation determination, and leveling. Perform stadia, surveying, topographic surveying, triangulation and trilateralization, missing
data computation, and subdivision of lots.
NUMBER OF UNITS 3 units Lecture; 1 unit Laboratory/Fieldwork
