"Indeed, the most important part of engineering work-and also of
other scientific work-is the determination of the method of
attacking the problem, whatever it may be, whether an experimental
investigation, or a theoretical calculation. ... It is by the
choice of a suitable method of attack, that intricate problems are
reduced to simple phenomena, and then easily solved." Charles
Proteus Steinmetz. The structure of this book is to provide a
sequence of theory, workshops and practical field sessions that
mimic a simple survey project, designed for civil and mining
engineers. The format of the book is based on a number of years of
experience gained in presenting the course at undergraduate and
post graduate levels. The course is designed to guide engineers
through survey tasks that the engineering industry feels is
necessary for them to have a demonstrated competency in surveying
techniques, data gathering and reduction, and report presentation.
The course i s not designed to make engineers become surveyors. It
is designed to allow an appreciation of the civil and mine
engineering surveyor's job. There are many excellent text books
available on the subject of engineering surveying, but they address
the surveyor, not the engineer. Hopefully this book will distil
many parts of the standard text book. A lot of the material
presented is scattered through very disparate sources and has been
gathered into this book to show what techniques lie behind a
surveyor's repertoire of observational and computational skills,
and provide an understanding of the decisions made in terms of the
presentation of results. The course has been designed to run over
about 6 weeks of a semester, providing a half unit load which
complements a computer aided design (CAD) based design project.
