Learning
Outcomes and
Competences
This course aims to teach the students the principles
of plane surveying and map making. At the end of
this course, students should be:
Dr. Najeh Tamim
21230 or 21231
1) Familiar with the meaning of surveying, and its
importance and association with civil
engineering. Students will also learn other related
issues such as scale, units of measurement, etc.,
as well as the different types of surveying errors
and the importance of avoiding and minimizing
these errors, and removing them from the
measurements if they occur.
2) Able to use basic surveying tools such as tapes for
measuring horizontal distances and preparing a
surveying plan for a small area.
