Computer Applications to Surveying
2
Course Description
Upon the completion of this course, students should have ability to:
1. demonstrate understanding of computer hardware, software systems and maintenance;
2. develop and apply simple programs for surveying computations; and
3. use already developed computer packages to process geospatial data.
Course Outline
Introduction to basic computing, hardware and software systems. Basic computer maintenance.
Flowchart, Algorithm and steps for program development in VISUAL BASIC, MATLAB and Phyton
environments. Development and applications of computer routines and sub-routine for basic
surveying computations like traversing, levelling, triangulation, areas and volumes of earth works.
The use of computer packages for storage, processing, retrieval and analysis of geospatial data.
