I. RATIONALE
Surveying is generally used to make land maps and boundaries. The development of engineering survey is the basic
foundation to ensure the quality of the project, because it can provide accurate data for the subsequent construction.
Surveying is involved in everything right from accurately drawing boundaries between private and public land, to
inspecting bridges and other critical infrastructure. Without surveying, the placement, security, and safety of
projects cannot be assured. Therefore, the students are required to develop such competency to carry out the given
type of survey using relevant equipment's so as to prepare the plan to interpret the information to take the
appropriate decisions. This course will help the students in achieving in above mentioned goal.

II. INDUSTRY / EMPLOYER EXPECTED OUTCOME

Prepare plans and Contour maps using Surveying Equipment’s and Techniques.

III. COURSE LEVEL LEARNING OUTCOMES (COS)

Students will be able to achieve & demonstrate the following COs on completion of course based learning

CO1 - Suggest relevant type of survey required for the given situation.
CO2 - Undertake cross staff and compass survey for the given field
CO3 - Undertake survey using Theodolite for preparing a plan of the given terrain.
CO4 - Determine Reduced Level to prepare Contour maps for the given type of terrain
CO5 - Prepare the plan using Plane Table Surveying to locate relevant details.
