COURSE CONTENT
Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Summarize the proper procedures and use of surveying equipment for
control, layout and boundary surveys.
2. Identify the use and dissemination of data and information through
proper surveying note keeping and plat preparation.
3. Perform complex surveying computations to determine vertical and
horizontal positions, directions of lines, distances between points and
location of property boundary.
4. Define and compute State Plane Coordinate System for California.
5. Define and compute the direction of lines by astronomic and satellite
observations.
6. Calculate the necessary data and layout horizontal and vertical curves
as they relate to roadway and boundary surveys.
7. Summarize and identify the procedures used in the Public Land Survey
System.
8. Summarize and identify the proper procedures for determining boundary
lines for property surveys.
9. Prepare a boundary plat from record and surveying data/information.
10. Prepare and interpret legal descriptions.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.
Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing. | Writing 0 - 0% |
None | |
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course. |
|
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills. | Problem Solving 15 - 25% |
Homework problem sets, lab reports | |
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams. | Skill Demonstrations 30 - 40% |
Field exercises, performance exams | |
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams. | Exams 25 - 35% |
Multiple choice, matching items, completion, computational | |
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories. | Other Category 0 - 10% |
