Objective
This class is designed to teach civil and environmental engineering students basic
surveying techniques, skills, theory, and applications. Class material includes
traditional plane surveying applications, digital mapping, geodetic coordinate
systems and transformations, and Photogrammetry. Modern techniques closely
related to the profession of surveying such as the Global Positioning System (GPS),
Remote Sensing, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are also introduced.
Civil engineering applications of class material are emphasized.
Assignments and Lab Reports
There will be one assignment due every week with the exception of the first week.
Any changes to the deadline will be mentioned in lectures. In addition to the
assignments, one lab report and two project reports are required; lab reports are due
in lab days one week after field work is done. Assignments are to be delivered via
class Canvas site, lab work is submitted in printed form at the beginning of labs to
the TA . Late assignments or lab reports and material left in my mailbox or office
will not be accepted. The only exception is that you are allowed to submit “one”
late homework; you MUST e-mail the TA BEFORE the deadline. The software
used: “wolfpack” can be downloaded at:
http://www.personal.psu.edu/cdg3/free.htm
NOTE: No makeup exams will be given. If you have conflicts with exam dates,
inform the Instructor by the end of first lecture. No changes will be done later,
no excuses will be accepted.
