CIVL 1231 - Intermediate Surveying and GPS
5 Credits
This course covers the basics of horizontal and vertical curve geometry as used in highway design before undertaking the study of more advanced surveying topics including: use of mass diagrams to track earthwork on highways, control surveying mathematics, universal coordinate systems, and boundary location . Laboratory exercises will vary between CAD drawings and outdoor exercises.
Learning Outcomes
Understand the geometry of horizontal and vertical curves Understand the calculations used for spiral curves Understand control surveying techniques and calculations Use CAD to prepare plan and profile drawings Understand and apply mathematical methods for establishing location in non-Euclidian space Appreciate and understand global positioning systems (GPS) Understand fundamentals of geographic information systems (GIS)
