This is an introductory course that includes the use, care and adjustment of modern digital surveying instruments, the measurement of distance and difference in elevation, angles, directions, lines and grades. Other topics covered include the theory of measurement and errors, traversing and area computation. Field exercises are included to complement lecture topics.

This is a continuation of CET 211 and covers the elements of horizontal, vertical and compound curves, cross-sectioning and earthwork computations. Other topics covered include the essentials of boundary surveys, coordinates, control surveys, construction surveys and state plane coordinates. Field exercises and computer applications are included to compliment lecture topics.

Pre-requisites: CET 211 with a minimum grade of C

This course addresses the concept of evidence relating to boundary locations as discoverable on the ground and through deeds or other written records, and the procedures followed by the land surveyor when conflicts occur between those items of evidence by relating laws and cases.
