Course Objective


The detailed knowledge about the measurement of coordinates, shape and elevations of earth surface and constructions will be presented within the scope of this course. Practical applications of measurements and the use of measurement devices will be provided to students by field studies. Topographic map surveying practice will be performed as an introduction to transportation engineering.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   1.To remember scale and measurement units concepts
2   2. To know instruments which capable of direct and indirect measurement
3   3. To understand and distinguish methods of land measurement
4   4.To apply the methods of measurement in land.
5   5.To determine location, shape and area on earth
6   6.To transfer the land information onto paper
7   7.To exclude result in graphs and tables with using calculation methods which applied on datas obtained from field measurements
8   8. To report studies of land measurements and the results which obtained from land measurements.

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods


Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods
Visual presentations of the course, presentation slides and lecture notes (lecture notes and presentations will be sent to the students by e-mail before the lesson to read.). The students are divided into working groups, and it will be explained with examples to each group how to do engineering measurements will be done on land given to them at the beginning of the term , it will be wanted to apply the same measurements applications on their land Assignments related to applications, the preparation and delivery of final surveying report.
