SYNOPSIS:

The practice of surveying has been subjected to dramatic technological
changes  in  the last twenty years; theodolites and steel  bands  have
been  replaced  by  one-man total stations and/or GPS  receivers,  log
tables   and   simple   adding  machines  by  hand-held   programmable
calculators  and/or computers and set squares and drafting  tables  by
computer  aided  drafting,  printers and plotters.  All  of  this  new
equipment  is designed to complete a variety of tasks. They  all  have
limitations and most importantly of all they must all be calibrated so
that the results that they provide are correct.

Surveyors must be aware of the limitations of the equipment that  they
use. They must know how to calibrate the equipment and understand  how
to utilise it in the most effective way.

OBJECTIVES:

On successful completion of this unit students will be able
to:

1. Complete suitable instrument calibrations.
   
2. Complete a control survey.
   
3. Undertake a detail survey.
   
4. Prepare and document the survey in a professional manner.
   
5. Demonstrate their communication skills by a suitable
   presentation.
   
6. Plan and prepare for a survey project.
