Synopsis

The unit is subdivided into practice modules covering aspects of SOIL,
WATER,  GEOLOGY and SURVEYING. Practice requirements for  each  module
include  laboratory  work, practical sessions,  field  excursions  and
report  preparation. Laboratory sessions provide a broad  introduction
to  the measurement and analysis of the engineering properties of soil
and water. Practical sessions in surveying are designed to develop the
manual  and  analytical skills required to conduct  simple  levelling,
chaining  and  theodolite traverses. The field excursion provides  the
student  with  specialised instruction on the identification  and  the
engineering  significance  of  geological  features.  Modules  may  be
undertaken  in  any order subject to any pre and/or  corequisite  unit
requirements,  offer  availability or otherwise the  approval  of  the
respective Assistant Examiner.
