Grade Mode: Standard Letter
Prerequisite(s): MATH 175 or higher.
Strongly recommended: ENGL 101.
Surveying methods along with the care and use of instruments such as steel tape, engineer's level, theodolite and total station are introduced. Includes route location, layout and staking, earthwork, horizontal and vertical measurements, area and volume computations. Analysis and adjustments of systematic and random errors, stadia surveying and mapping are also introduced.
ENGR 135
Engineering Mechanics: Statics
3 Units (AA/AS; CSU; UC)
