SRVY 255 - Surveying Calculations

Credit(s): 3

Prerequisite(s): SRVY 241.
Corequisite(s): SRVY 242.
Use of personal computers and associated software to solve typical surveying problems: traverse calculations; rotation and translation of coordinates; intersection calculations; area cutoff calculations; subdivision and road right-of-way design. (Spring Semester)

Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to

Generate coordinates given data via field notes or other drawing.
Enter traverse data, analyze for mistakes, and perform appropriate error adjustments.
Compute areas, intersections of lines and curves, and translation/rotation of coordinates.
Design basic subdivisions and road rights-of-way.
