This is a second semester course in surveying with the emphasis on the use of advanced survey instruments and their field applications in construction surveying. This highly technical class introduces the concept of creating a flat map, a plane, to describe a curved surface. Geodesy, measuring the shape of the Earth, is introduced. Students learn to use the North Star to determine direction. Determining errors in precision measurement is covered. This course is one of the last courses taken in a land-surveying program. (Note: 4 lecture credits)
