Students will develop a basic framework of vocabulary in social sciences, gain an understanding of the spectrum of social sciences, and understand why social science is a science. Furthermore, students will learn to appreciate the relevance of social science as it relates to life choices. In an attempt to gain understanding, this course will look at the etiology of violence, effects of violence, the power and control issues surrounding violence, the gender issues surrounding violence, the methods currently being used to prevent and treat violent individuals and societal views on violence. This course introduces the student to basic surveying principles. The topics deal with the theory, application, and care of traditional instruments such as the level, theodelite and chain.
Emphasis is placed on contributing effectively as a team member of a survey crew.
This course is a continuation of SUR101. Students will apply the knowledge gained previously in the operation of surveying instruments in practical exercises on and off campus. In addition, the students will be introduced to measurements involving azimuths and bearings, traverse area calculations by latitudes and departures, and highway curves inclusive of circular curve geometry and related calculations.
