Today's surveying graduate needs skills in the use and application of electronic field equipment in particular, total stations and hand held data recorders. They also need the ability to be able to utilise computer software to process this data for design and plan production purposes. This course introduces the student to a variety of electronic total stations and data recorders and develops their skills in the use of this equipment in a practical field situation. Instruction is also given in the use of relevant computer hardware and software packages associated with data processing. The methodology of automated field surveying is also discussed.
