This course lays the groundwork for learning how to assemble material in order to communicate effectively in writing. It is presented in two parts so students can master good writing techniques before applying them specifically to letters, memos, etc.

Applies the techniques learned in TSYH 1101 to specific forms of written communication.

The course builds on high school mathematics material so that students are able to relate basic algebra, trigonometry, geometry and vectors to their technical field. Through working examples students develop the ability, confidence and versatility to deal with physical situations involving mathematical solutions.

Students are introduced to the standard layout of engineering drawings. Topics include the relationship between plans, elevations, sections, etc.; conventional lining and lettering techniques; the development of projected views. Special consideration is given to sketching techniques and, through assignment preparation, the student demonstrates basic drafting ability.

A companion course to TSYH 1162 dealing with construction drawings for highways, bridges, culverts, works.

Introduces the student to the principles of topographic maps and ordering aerial photographs. Mapping symbols, mapping systems, scale, contours, profiles and determining distance, direction and area are also covered in the course

A fundamental course in surveying which introduces commonly used survey equipment. After completion, students will be able to identify and describe the equipment, and its applications in the field.

A continuation of TSYH 3301. This course details the field and office methods used for measuring and recording surveying data. Topics include booking and plotting notes, measuring angles and distances, basic computations for angles, level note reduction, simple circular curves, simple traverse plots, plans, profiles, cross sections and slope taking.

A continuation of TSYH 3302. Details the computations involved with planning and design based on data obtained from field surveys. Topics include elements of coordinate geometry, traversing slope reduction, trigonometric leveling, and coordinate transformation.

Students are required to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of an approved evaluator, their ability in field surveying applications including: chaining procedures, leveling, transit work, use of electronic distance measuring equipment.

The first of three courses covering the theory and computations involved in highway surveying computations and layout. Topics include horizontal alignment procedures and calculations, simple circular curves, compound, reverse and transitional curves.

Covers the theory and computations involved in highway surveying computations and layout. Topics include vertical alignment procedures and calculations, and vertical parabolic curves (symmetrical and asymmetrical).

The last of three courses on highway surveying computations and layout, this course allows students to obtain credit for their skill in applying theory learned in TSYH 3311 and 3312. Students will be required to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of an approved evaluator, competency in a series of surveying tasks related to vertical and horizontal survey computations and layout.

An introduction to the standard methods used in measuring and calculating land area and earthwork quantities. Area and volume formulas; typical highway applications; an introduction to accumulated volume computations; shrinkage and swell factors.

An introduction to the legislation and regulations governing legal surveys and land ownership in the Province of British Columbia. It covers general survey principles, the history of B.C land surveys, and various items of provincial legislation relating to survey regulations and requirements and other issues of land ownership and boundary determination.

An introduction to aerial photography presented in a 3- day seminar format. Topics include aerial photos, geometry, maps and aerial photos, engineering applications. Use of stereoscopes, photo indexes, conversions of scale, height determination and photo map point transfers.
