What is SURV3001 about?

This unit covers the expectations and requirements of performing control surveying for different applications experienced in industry. Principles covered include specifications of a control network, its design, observational procedures, rigorous calculations and adjustment of the observed data, and appropriate reporting of the final product in line with Australian survey guidelines and practices. The objective is to build upon individual practices and techniques presented in previous units (such as terrestrial surveying, levelling, GNSS, and least squares adjustments), and explore the high level concepts of error propagation and detection, observation weighting, the combined adjustment, and how the different survey measurements and practices interact, compliment and affect each other. Students will be expected to work collaboratively and independently on field work exercises which will reflect contemporary workplace practices and cover the different techniques they will encounter.
