What is surveying Engineering?
Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession, and science of determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional positions of points and the distances and angles between them. A land surveying professional is called a land surveyor. Surveyors work with elements of geometry, trigonometry, regression analysis, physics, engineering, metrology, programming languages, and the law. They use equipment, such as total stations, robotic total stations, GPS receivers, retro reflectors, 3D scanners, radios, handheld tablets, digital levels, subsurface locators, drones, GIS, and surveying software.
Topography is a branch of geodesy which deals with the measurement technique of a portion of Earth’s shell, with determining the position of earth elements on small surfaces (considered flat), as well as graphical or numerical representation technique of the measured surfaces, for drawing up maps and plans; detailed description of a place in terms of placement, configuration.
The objective of these lab works is to provide students the necessary information and the acquisition of practical knowledge about distance measurement, taping, angle measurement, errors, direct and indirect, conditional adjustment of observations, differential leveling, rise and fall, height of collimation method, traverse surveys, Azimuth and coordinate computations, area computations, Stadia survey, trigonometric leveling, contour lines, curve layout, remote sensing and photogrammetry etc.
