Subject:

Description:

(3.0 Units) (Prerequisite: Math 101 or 102. Corequisite: Math 102G or Math 95K and 95L. Two lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) This course is a practical introduction for those not requiring the more professionally oriented Engineering 210. This course presents essential surveying concepts and training in widely used computational and fieldwork procedures. Proper use of tapes, compasses, rods, levels, alidades, and transits is explained for measurement of the distances, directions, and elevations of existing features and staking out control for new construction designs including simple curves and earthwork. Tables, scientific calculators, and computers are used to minimize hand computations and prerequisite mathematics. (CSU)
