1. Learning Outcomes:
This module aims to make students understand the basic principles, theory and concept of
field surveying. In addition, this module offers opportunities for students to be familiar with
surveying instruments such as theodolites, EDM and also how to use these instruments to
carry out field exercises such as traverse and tachometric surveying.
Module Outline:
At the end of this module, students should be able to handle a theodolite to obtain
horizontal and vertical angles, lines and distances using measuring equipments. The course
provide student the knowledge about the importance of surveying, the basic principles of
surveying, distinguish between systematic and accidental errors, the laws of probability and
most probable value, the field notes, the characteristics of automatic data collectors, the use
of various electronic distance measurement instruments, the corrections in measurement
with a tape.

The purpose of this course is to give the student an overall and elementary understanding of
construction materials and processes. We will study one specific material category, one
specific construction process, and an overall construction system each week. The student
will have the opportunity to expand the studies to include materials and processes which are
normally encountered by the student in his/her work place.
Module Outline:
This course is a hands-on introduction to common construction materials such as aggregate,
asphalt and concrete. We will examine how they are designed and manufactured, how they
are used in construction, what properties affect their performance, and how those properties
are determined in the field or laboratory.
