Preamble:
Objective of the course is to impart practical experience to students by exposing them to various
techniques of field surveying. The course is designed to make student familiar with conventional
and advanced surveying instruments.
Prerequisite: Nil
Course Outcomes: After the completion of the course, the student will be able to:
CO 1 Use conventional surveying tools such as chain/tape and compass for plotting and area
determination.
CO 2 Apply levelling principles in field
CO 3 Solve triangulation problems using theodolite
CO 4 Employ total station for field surveying
CO 5 Demonstrate the use of distomat and handheld GPS
Course Outcome 1 (CO1): Plot the given area using chain/tape and compass and compute its
area.
Course Outcome 2 (CO2): Determine the reduced levels of the given points in the filed with
respect to the Bench Mark of RL=100.00
Course Outcome 3 (CO3): Find out the distance between two inaccessible points A and B.
Baseline measurement is allowed.
Course Outcome 4 (CO4): Compute the area of a given plot using total station.
Course Outcome 5 (CO5):Explain the parts of a handheld GPS with neat sketch.
