Surveying will provide the student with practical training and instruction with basic surveying instruments and techniques to solve common resource management problems. Care, use, and maintenance of surveying equipment and instruments as well as professional requirements for the recording of field data will constitute a major focus of this course. Field techniques for measuring distance, direction and elevation will be utilized to obtain planimetric and topographic data for determining such things as horizontal distance, changes in elevation, profiles, cross-sections, and area/volume calculations as well as basic procedures for various environmental sampling techniques. The student will also be introduced various technologies and their role in resource management.
