Title: Land Surveying Principles – Traverse Surveys
This online engineering PDH course on land surveying covers the intricacies of traverse surveys and their diverse applications in various engineering disciplines.
Traverse surveys are a fundamental component of land surveying, providing the foundation for accurately determining the position of points on the Earth's surface. Traverse surveys have a rich history dating back centuries. Early surveyors relied on primitive tools and techniques to create traverse surveys, which were essential for land division, mapping, and construction. The traverse method allowed them to measure distances and angles with reasonable accuracy, providing the basis for land ownership records and property boundaries.
Understanding this historical context helps us appreciate the evolution of surveying techniques and the importance of traverse surveys in the development of modern surveying practices. Today, traverse surveys continue to be a cornerstone of land surveying and this course will equip participants with in-depth knowledge and practical skills on the topic of traverse land surveys.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to professional land surveyors, as well as civil, environmental, transportation, geotechnical and other engineering professionals who are interested in learning about performing traverse land surveys.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the historical perspective of traverse surveys and the importance of traverse surveys and the different types of surveys
- Learning about the sources of errors, how to minimize them and how to correct traverse errors
- Familiarizing with field procedures in traverse surveying
- Understanding traverse computations, traverse adjustment and closure and balancing traverse
