Description
All Civil Engineering projects such as roadway construction, building developments, bridges, dams, etc. depend on surveying measurements on the planning, design, and construction phases. Incorporating Surveying courses in the Civil Engineering curriculum is significant so students gain knowledge on how to take measurements, create and read maps (topographic, cadastral, contour and other). In this paper, the methods of instruction for a surveying course and a surveying laboratory along with the learning outcomes and students’ response to the instruction (collected with questionnaires) are described. In addition, questionnaires were given to students who took the surveying courses and then got internships that required surveying skills to evaluate how useful the instruction was to their work environment.
