Description: CE 271.2 Spring Survey Camp is designed to introduce the basic elements of surveying both in the classroom and in the field using standard surveying techniques. The theory behind surveying will be presented so the student can understand why and how surveying is carried out in the field. Manually operated and more advanced electronic equipment will be introduced and used in practical laboratories. The course is intended to give the student a skill set which he or she can use during a summer job and build upon during a career in civil, geological or environmental engineering.

Assignments: There will be up to six (6) problem assignments throughout the camp. These assignments are to be submitted the next day after being assigned. There will be no late assignments allowed. Failure to hand in a problem set by 9:00 am the next day after being assigned will result in a mark of zero (0). One assignment will not be counted towards the final mark (either one (1) late assignment, or the lowest mark of all assignments handed in). Problems will be representative of typical expectations for exam questions. Solutions to the assignments will be made available.
