This course introduces the student to a variety of property law and boundary law concepts. This course introduces astronomy and basic observation techniques. The student is required to present a final report detailing astronomic observations of the sun and a star. This course continues from SUTN1006 and teaches students to use survey equipment effectively and to work as a member of a survey crew. Some assigned field projects must be performed individually while many are performed by a crew.
Emphasis is placed on taking care of survey equipment and on developing speed in using it.
The work experience component of the Survey Technician Program is designed to provide the student with an opportunity to apply new skills and concepts appropriate for an entry level position within industry following graduation. It continues on from SUTN2015 and includes participation in a series of formal meetings. In order to provide some context, a number of projects which mirror real world job tasks will be assigned to the student, either individually, or as a member of a field crew team. The student will be required to approach these projects as though they have been assigned by an employer. Students will assess their own performance and that of their crew mates.
