COURSE CONTENT
Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
The students will:
1. Define and give illustrative examples of various maps and their
application to surveying, engineering and/or construction.
2. Plot a topographic map from data collected in the field.
3. Demonstrate their knowledge and objectives of the public land
survey system.
4. Identify the appropriate use of horizontal and vertical curves as
they apply to road construction.
5. Calculate the necessary data and demonstrate how to successfully
stake-out both horizontal and vertical curves.
6. Demonstrate how to slope-stake for cuts and fills, determine earth
volumes.
7. Calculate and set-up the appropriate field notes to stake-out
pipelines and building structures.
8. Demonstrate knowledge and use of State Plane Coordinates and
direction of lines by solar/polaris observation.
