This course contains practical surveying exercises and work-relevant components similar to that conducted in civil engineering, resources and environmental industry settings. This includes field work on campus, hands-on computing and practical exercises with industry standard software and field trips. Attendance at field excursions and survey camps is compulsory. This discipline has also moved into several high-tech areas including satellite positioning, laser scanning, airborne and marine navigation, digital mapping and remote sensing, specialised alignment surveying, analysis of structural deformations, and land and environmental management. Studying modern surveying necessarily calls upon elements from such diverse disciplines as computing, engineering, environmental science, geography, geology, management,mathematics and physics.
