Hydro graphic Surveying II

At the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. operate and carry out measurement using Echo Sounder; 2. demonstrate the understanding of the development and management of ports; 3. carry out processes involved in dredging, channelization and sedimentation; and 4. demonstrate the understanding of modern techniques used in hydrography and bathymetry.
