The lab exercises offer both analytical and hands on exercises including the cutting, fitting and welding of metals. The course presents an introduction to surveying principles and recording techniques. Students are given lectures, assignments and hands on lab exercises. Practice is gained in the proper use of tape, level, and transit through exercises involving measurements of horizontal and vertical distances and angles. This includes chaining, stadia, benchmark, profile and contour leveling, triangulation and traverse exercises.
Students work in teams and are required to complete a survey project and submit a finished report.
This course reviews the fundamental circuit variables such as voltage, current, charge, power and energy. Kirchhoff s laws are introduced and developed into node and mesh analysis techniques. Terminal behaviour and circuit equivalence including source transformation, superposition, Thevenin and Norton circuits are covered. Analysis with controlled sources and energy storage elements is developed including steady state and transient response for first order networks. Phasors and sinusoidal steady state are introduced.
