SUR 205 - Survey Adjustments

3 Credits
This course covers the concepts of random error theory and adjustment algorithms, the mathematical application of simple error propagation formulas and compass rule adjustments. The course uses computer applications to perform least squares adjustments of survey networks and interpret the results.

Course Outcomes

Recognize and assess random errors with respect to standard tolerances.
Explain standards and specifications’ application to various surveys.
Apply the Compass rule and describe the purposes of Transit and Crandall rules.
Explain and describe conformal and best fit transformations and localizations.
How to use and apply Least Squares in survey adjustments using profession’s software.
