Course description

A continuation of the beginners’ course in surveying. It includes the basic surveying concepts and methods of measurement, and the basic equipment, with an emphasis on levelling, which has a major role in Civil Engineering projects. Much of this is introductory, while the Field Data Collection course CES1204 goes into more depth in some of the same aspects.
