Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
The student will:
1. Identify the classes of triangulation, trilateration and traverse
control surveys.
2. Identify types of control surveys and their applications.
3. When given the appropriate data adjust any given horizontal control
survey.
4. Using appropriate field procedures, complete a horizontal control
survey by triangulation, trilateration and traverse.
5. Define and give an illustrative example of the two map projects used
for state plane coordinates.
6. When given the appropriate data, determine the geographic coordinates
to plane coordinates and the grid azimuth on Lambert Conformal
Projection.
7. Determine the plane coordinates and grid azimuth between adjacent
state plane coordinate zones.
8. Determine the direction of a line of Solar and Polaris observation.

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
25 - 35% |
| Field work, Lab reports, Exams | |
| Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams. | Skill Demonstrations
