Course Objectives

  • Apply the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve well-defined surveying problems appropriate to the discipline. To study the temporary adjustment of survey instruments by standard methods.
  • Technical Adeptness - Graduates will be technically adept in Surveying Technology as well as supporting math and science disciplines, allowing these graduates to assist professional land surveyors in various surveying and mapping projects. Their technical skills and knowledge will enable them to perform their work duties with a commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement.
  • To do various field works with the help of Modern Instruments e.g. GPS and DGPS, Total station and GPR.
  • To Carry out topographic survey.

Learning Outcomes

  • Carry out temporary adjustment of survey instruments by standard methods ,levelling and cross sectioning survey and setting out works
