Course Overview
This course emphasizes the use of a variety of total stations with a range of industry standard data collection systems. Topics will include the collection and analysis of the measurements and procedures to minimize field and computational errors, analysis of electronic field data, presentation of results, in graphic and non-graphic forms. Measurements using industry grade GPS equipment for Rapid Static and Real Time methods will be introduced. Labs will be based on industry type problems which will include a design or planning component, a field measurement / data acquisition component, and a processing – computation – drafting component.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to demonstrate the following:
- Proper care, use and simple maintenance of surveying equipment.
- Calibrate the total station; prism constant, atmospheric correction and H & V Index error.
- Perform solar observation in order to determine azimuth.
- Do field layout of Stations and Offset, run levels and prepare Cut sheets.
- Use various total stations to obtain distance, angle and component information in both the IR (Infra Red) and RL (Reflector less) distance modes.
- Use electronic methods of collecting data, both onboard and handheld systems.
- Apply reductions and corrections to electronic data.
- Use electronic methods to reduce data and display the data in a professional manner using industry standard CAD packages, transfer programs and/or spreadsheets.
- Use GPS equipment for Static and Real Time data collection, and perform office reductions, adjustments and presentations.
