COURSE CONTENT
Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
Upon the completion of this course, the student will:
1. Define and illustrate type of construction measurements and their
units as applied to construction surveying.
2. Demonstrate the appropriate use and care of instruments used in
construction surveying.
3. Determine, calculate and demonstrate the appropriate method to be
used in the construction staking of buildings, utilities and roads.
4. Define and give illustrated examples of the use of horizontal and
vertical control as applied to construction surveying.
5. When given the appropriate grading plan, determine the volume of
material by the contour, grid and average end methods.
6. When given a site plan, locate and identify all the elements related
to construction layout.
7. When given the necessary data, calculate and plot to scale a
topographic map including site improvements.
8. Demonstrate how to read construction stakes for buildings, utilities
and roads.
9. When given the appropriate data, calculate slope, horizontal, and
vertical distances.
Topics and Scope
