Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This subject is intended to provide engineering students with fundamentals of surveying and some practical skills in using standard engineering surveying equipment. Furthermore, an introduction to GIS (geographic information systems) and GPS (global positioning systems) will be covered where more focus will be placed on practical applications of these techniques with reference to surveying fieldwork. The subject is delivered by a combination of lectures, workshop sessions and campus practical exercises.
