Synopsis
This course is designed to introduce surveying techniques in land surveying using theodolite and tachometric techniques. Various angle measurement techniques, adjustment of a theodolite, theodolite traversing, error sources in theodolite survey and basic tacheometric techniques are included. Additionally, contouring and their applications are also discussed.
