Untitled document
The student will:
1. Identify types of control surveys and their applications.
2. Identify the classes of triangulation, trilateration and traverse
control surveys.
3. Identify and demonstrate the appropriate use of global positioning
system equipment for data collection.
4. Calibrate and adjust surveying equipment for control surveys.
5. Determine state plane coordinates, ground and grid distances,
geodetic and grid azimuths with a control network.
6. Using appropriate field procedures, complete a horizontal and vertical
control network by conventional and G.P.S. techniques.
7. Compile and adjust collected data for control surveys and determine
the accuracy and precision necessary for the different types of
control surveys.
8. Determine the direction of lines by Astronomical Observations.
