15. Course Description/Contents (as approved by the dept.)
This is an introductory course to the principles of surveying as related to the construction
industry. Emphasis is placed on obtaining field skills in linear measurement and the operation of
levels, transits, theodolites and electronic surveying equipment. Basic traverse computation and
other office calculations that use the collected field data are practiced.
