Students develop skills using surveying instruments including measuring tapes, automatic levels, theodlites, and electronic distance measurement equipment. The ability to identify error sources and the procedures to minimize errors are important components of the course. Cooperative efforts to acquire surveying data during laboratory periods and apply fundamental concepts to adjust data and develop a preliminary route plan are necessary. The following summary highlights major topics from each of the chapters of the text. The objective is to identify major points in each chapter to assist the student. The Lab Guide, Internet postings, individual readings and the scheduled lecture and laboratory discussions will supplement these materials. Computer applications using spreadsheets (typically from Excel) and computer-aided graphics (typically ACAD) will be incorporated in projects, although the text does not provide instruction in these areas. Brief comment on text Professor Kavanaugh organized the text to follow a sequence that was most meaningful for his objectives. However, during the semester you may find it necessary to move forward or backward in the chapters to obtain the information that is needed. The Table of Contents and the Index are valuable tools. Note also that a special section is provided with answers to selected problems. Using these problems as a study aid is helpful, but we are
