Lab courses Handled in the Lab:
- CE8361 – Surveying Laboratory (II Year – III Semester)
- CE8513 – Survey Camp (II Year – IV Semester)
Surveying Laboratory provides students with hands-on experience to supplement instruction in surveying courses. The students will posses knowledge about Survey field techniques.
The Surveying Laboratory has a wide variety of modern surveying equipment, such as GPS-based surveying equipment, total stations, Digital theodolite, and automatic levels for basic instructional and research purposes.
Undergraduate students use the laboratory as an integral part of their surveying coursework and obtain any topographic information that can help their capstone design projects, such as highway design and land development.
Students completing this course will acquire practical knowledge on handling basic survey instruments including Theodolite, Tacheometry, Total Station and GPS and have adequate knowledge to carryout Triangulation and Astronomical surveying including general field marking for various engineering projects and Location of site etc.
