CEE 121 - Elementary Surveying Credits: 2 Description Vertical and horizontal control methods: This course involves topographic and construction survey methods, use of land survey equipment, note taking, and graphical communication. This course has applications to earthwork and highway alignment.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate the ability to setup a tripod over a monument.
- Demonstrate the ability to measure distances using a steel tape/chain, pacing, total station and GPS.
- Demonstrate the ability to measure/derive elevations/heights using an automatic level, total station and GPS. Perform level loop/circuit analysis.
- Demonstrate competence in measuring horizontal and vertical angles using a total station.
- Perform closure adjustments to closed traverses using the Compass (Bowditch) Rule/Method.
- Demonstrate understanding of projections (Transverse Mercator), datums (NAVD88, NAD83, WGS84), geoid, ellipsoid, orthometric heights, geographic coordinate systems, and state plane coordinate systems.
- Prepare CAD drawings using field measurement data showing angles, bearings and distances, area, existing and proposed TIN surface, and coordinates. Also create topographic maps showing elevation contours.
- Perform Earthwork calculations, and determine the volume between the existing and proposed surface.
Prerequisite: MATH 127 or MATH 128 or above with a grade of C or higher Corequisite: None Graded: Letter Grade
