Description

This module is designed to build on the knowledge gained in Surveying 1 and give students a competence in the surveying of a parcel of ground, processing of the data collected, the planning application for a dwelling designed in an interdisciplinary module on that site and the set-out associated with the construction of that dwelling. The scope of the Practical element of the module will be in relation to domestic application with industrial and commercial application discussed in theory lectures. Student will employ the use of field tapes, electronic theodolites and total stations to compare and contrast their specific benefits and limitations.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Demonstrate a competence in distance measurement by taping

2.

Define the field procedures that are used to set up and measure angles with a theodolite and total station

3.

Describe sources of error when measuring and setting out horizontal and vertical angles

4.

Execute a land survey to establish site boundaries and details using non-EDM and EDM methodologies

5.

Illustrate ability to create two-dimensional drawings from survey data collected

6.

Describe planning application procedure for domestic projects

7.

Demonstrate extent of module comprehension

Teaching and Learning Strategies

This module will be delivered using blended learning techniques. Introductory and theoretical elements will be conducted by lectures in a classroom, drawings created in a computer laboratory and Practicals conducted on the college campus green areas
