CET 204 - Fundamentals of Surveying

Lecture: 3 Lab: 3 Credit: 4
Contact Hours: 90
This course is the study of surveying theory and practice, care and use of instruments, traversing procedures, and computation of closure. Students are introduced to specific methods and principles of spatial measurements and related techniques used in surveying. The course will cover linear measurements, leveling, compass and transit/ theodolite, theory of errors, areas, stadia, coordinate geometry, state plane coordinates, and standard map projections. Lab work consists of horizontal control including distance and angular measurements, traversing and preparation of a plat, and vertical control including the performance of a level loop.
