Untitled document
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Identify types of control surveys and their applications in civil
engineering and surveying.
2. Operate global positioning system equipment for navigation and survey
grade location.
3. Use conventional electronic surveying instruments (total stations) as
well as the GPS equipment for control surveys, navigation and mapping.
4. Determine and utilize appropriate field procedures for horizontal and
vertical control of surveys.
5. Define and give illustrative examples of map projections and the
data associated with them.
6. Determine the geographic coordinates and plane coordinates of points
within the two California Coordinate Systems.
7. Determine the direction of a line by Astronomic Observation.
8. Summarize the proper use of electronic surveying equipment such as
total stations global positioning systems.
9. Analyze and compile GPS data by using post-processing software.

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 - 45% |
Field work, computations; navigate to points; project plan. | |
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams. | Skill Demonstrations 30 - 55% |
Field work, navigate to points; set up/operate receivers. | |
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams. | Exams 15 - 30% |
Multiple choice, Matching items, Completion, COMPUTATIONAL | |
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories. | Other Category 0 - 0% |
None | |
