Synopsis

In this course, the students are introduced to the practical aspects of theodolite and tacheometric surveying. Students will uses these techniques in surveying of a small block and preparation of a survey plan. Additionally, they are introduced to various adjustments of a theodolite instrument, tacheometric constant determination, various errors in these techniques and computation of the traverse adjustment.
