Description

The main goal of this course is to provide the participants, engineers and construction professionals an appreciation and understanding of surveying and its construction application, as well as the use of modern survey instruments; transit, Theodolites, level, etc.; linear and angular measurements and errors; error analysis, significance of figures; use of computers and software; recent developments; GPS. This basic knowledge gained in this course will be helping the students developing a good working understanding of the basic and fundamental principles of surveying

Course material include measurements techniques and errors, Distance measurements principals, linear and angular measurements and errors and leveling, Control surveying, instrumentation and monitoring, Theodolites, Total station and GPS.
