Title: Surveying and Global Positioning
Description: This course introduces students to the use of surveying field equipment such as an auto-level, total station, and positioning equipment using the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Using the equipment, students learn and practice the processes to measure and compute a surface, to establish and correct control positions, to quantify surface volumes, and to layout designed alignments and positions. Students will be introduced to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and will learn to create maps using GIS software.
