Engineering Survey is a vital course that equips learners with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills required in surveying for engineering and construction projects. The course covers the fundamental principles of surveying, levelling, and contouring to determine elevations and create contour maps. Students are trained in traversing and triangulation for establishing control points, as well as the use of theodolites and tacheometry for accurate measurement of angles, distances, and elevations. The course also emphasizes setting out works, which involves transferring designs from drawings to the ground for roads, buildings, and other civil works. In addition, learners are introduced to topographical surveying and ground profiling, where longitudinal and cross-sectional profiles are prepared to support project design. Modern survey instruments such as levels, GPS, and total stations are used to collect, record, and interpret data effectively. By the end of the course, trainees are able to apply surveying techniques in real-world engineering projects, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and quality in construction and infrastructure development.
