Topographic Surveying
2
Course Description
At the conclusion of this course, students should be able to:
1. demonstrate understanding of the principles and uses of topographic mapping;
2. use different instrumental techniques to carry out topographic surveying; and
3. plot and produce contour and other topographic maps/plans.
Course Outline
Principles and uses of topographic maps/plan. Methods of obtaining field data for topographic
surveys such as traversing, leveling, tachometry, triangulation, trilateration, intersection, resection
planning, office and field recce, observations, field completion and detail survey, computations and
adjustment. Contouring and production of other topographic maps/plans.
