About

You will be able to

  • Measure horizontal and vertical angles with a theodolite by repetition
  • Run a closed theodolite traverse and compute its closing error
  • Find distances and RLs by tacheometric observations
  • Set out a simple circular curve by Rankine's deflection angle method
  • Use a total station to record coordinates and download data

Who it is for

  • Diploma Civil Engineering students of Semester 4 (BTEUP)
  • Students preparing for the advanced surveying practical exam and viva

What you need

  • Advanced Surveying theory (being studied in the same semester)

Questions

Which syllabus does this Advanced Surveying Lab course follow?

It follows the BTEUP diploma syllabus (Civil Engineering - Semester 4). If your polytechnic or university syllabus differs, the centre follows your own syllabus and unit order.

Will this help in the semester exam?

Yes. Each unit is taught with board-pattern questions, numericals where needed, and revision tests before the end-semester exam.

How is the practical work assessed?

The trainer watches each experiment / milestone and marks it on a rubric, followed by viva questions, as in the board practical exam.
