Control and Topographic Surveying - Part 2
This online engineering CPD course examines the principles and procedures associated with horizontal and vertical control surveying, traverse surveys, and leveling operations.
This course focuses on horizontal and vertical survey control, including survey datums, coordinate systems, monumentation, traverse surveys, angle and distance measurements, leveling procedures, and the establishment of geodetic and project control networks used in engineering and mapping applications.
In addition, this course explores survey accuracy standards, adjustment methods, closure requirements, error analysis, field observation procedures, and quality assurance practices associated with control surveys and leveling operations. The course also discusses instrumentation, calibration requirements, benchmark establishment, and documentation procedures used in precise engineering surveys.
So, this course covers the planning, execution, adjustment, and evaluation of control and leveling surveys used to support engineering design, construction layout, mapping, and infrastructure development projects. It also emphasizes practical field procedures, measurement reliability, survey computations, and professional standards associated with geodetic and engineering surveying operations.
This 7 CPD online course is applicable to civil engineers, surveyors, as well as other technical professionals who are interested in learning more about control and topographic surveying.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding principles and procedures used in horizontal and vertical control surveying
- Recognizing survey datums, coordinate systems, monumentation standards, and benchmark establishment practices used in engineering surveys
- Applying traverse survey methods, angle measurements, distance measurements, and leveling procedures used in control surveys
- Understanding survey accuracy standards, closure requirements, adjustment methods, and error analysis techniques associated with geodetic and engineering surveys
- Recognizing instrumentation requirements, calibration procedures, and field observation techniques used in precise surveying applications
- Applying quality assurance practices, survey computations, and documentation procedures used in control and leveling surveys
- Understanding the role of control surveys and leveling operations in supporting engineering design, construction, mapping, and infrastructure development projects
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Control and Topographic Surveying - Part 2”, which is based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Publication No. EM 1110-1-1005, Chapters 5 through 7 of “Control and Topographic Surveying”.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty-five (35) questions to earn 7 CPD credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.)
