This document outlines the syllabus, policies, and procedures for the CE 343 Surveying Laboratory course taught by Dr. Ghazi Al-Khateeb in the fall of 2009-2010. The course objectives are to teach students how to use various surveying tools and instruments and conduct field projects. It will be graded based on midterm and final exams, lab reports, and participation. Laboratory reports are due one week after each lab and will be deducted points for lateness. Reports must follow specific formatting guidelines. Exams will cover material learned in both lectures and labs. Students are expected to behave respectfully and maintain good conduct in the laboratory.

I. Course Objectives:
After the completion of this course, students are expected to have the ability to: 1. Use distance-measuring tools and instruments such as tape and odometer. 2. Use the prismatic square. 3. Understand and conduct chain surveying. 4. Use the level equipment, identify its different components and features, and use the leveling staff. 5. Perform a field project using the level equipment and the leveling staff. 6. Survey an area in order to construct a contour map for that area using the level equipment, staff, and tape. 7. Use the theodolite equipment, identify its main components, and recognize the use of each component. 8. Conduct a field project using the theodolite in which the length of an obstructed building is to be measured. 9. Use the tacheometer equipment, identify its main components, and know the use of each component. 10. Use the electronic distance measurement (EDM) equipment and measure horizontal distances using the EDM. 11. Measure areas using the planimeter. 12. Conduct field projects using the different surveying instruments and tools. CE 343 By Dr. Ghazi Al-Khateeb Fall 2009_2010 2 13. Perform computations and surveying works during field projects and laboratory works.
II. Course Outline:
1. Introduction: Lab Regulations, Procedures, and Policies. 2. Measurement of Distances Using the Tape and the Odometer: Length of Pace. 3. Chain Surveying Instruments: Training. 4. Prismatic Square: Training. 5. Chain Surveying Project. 6. Level Instruments: Training on the Level Equipment and the Leveling Staff. 7. Leveling Field Projects: Measuring Obstructed Distances and Contouring. 8. Theodolite Equipment: Training 9. Field Project Using the Theodolite: Traverse Project. 10. Tacheometer Equipment: Training 11. EDM Equipment: Training 12. Measurement of Areas Using the Planimeter 13. Total Station: Training
III. Grading:
Course grades will be based upon the following breakdown:
Item Contribution Midterm Exam 25% Reports 25% Participation and Field Work 10% Final Exam 40%
IV. Submission of Laboratory Reports:
Laboratory reports are due one week from the time of the experimental work of each corresponding test. However, reports turned in after this time will be considered late and will be subjected to the deduction policy shown below: 0-1 day = 15%, 1-2 days = 30% and so on. If you cannot submit your laboratory report on time and you have a strong valid excuse, please see me to make other arrangements for new date of report submission.
V. Formatting Requirements for Laboratory Reports:
Laboratory reports should be submitted and presented in a professional manner by following the points below:
CE 343 By Dr. Ghazi Al-Khateeb Fall 2009_2010 3 It is strongly encouraged to use Microsoft Word or other convenient word processors in writing and Microsoft Excel (spreadsheets) or other graphical/data analysis software/program for analysis and plotting. Writing should be only on one side of the sheet. Use a cover sheet for each laboratory report and include on the cover sheet your name, university, college, department, course number (CE 343), laboratory number, name of the experimental test, submitted to:, submitted by:, and the date of submission. Pay attention to consistency, neatness, page layout, and page numbering. Consistency in graphs/charts should be considered particularly in units, chart size, numbering, axis, and titles. For graphs/charts, use proper titles, proper font and type for the text inside the graph, and a legend and different symbols for different data series. Use black and white coloring in your graphs/charts, as this color type is the standard one used for most professional and academic communications, technical reports, proposals, and publications. However, if you feel you still need to use colored graphs/charts, use it only when it has stronger advantages over black and white coloring or/and when it provides clearer idea and picture of what you need to present.
VI. Grade Distribution per Laboratory Report:
Category Maximum Points Cover Sheet 10 Lab Descriptions and Procedures 15 Analysis of Data and Computations 20 Presentation of Results 20 Analysis of Results and Discussion 20 Overall Appearance 15
VII. Grading Criteria:

VIII. Exams:
There will be two exams during the semester: midterm exam and final exam. The midterm exam will be done in week no. 8 (on Wednesday 04/15/009). The exam will be held in the laboratory at the same time of the lab. The final exam will be scheduled and conducted at the end of the semester. Midterm exam will be typically experimental and cover what students have learned about test equipment, test procedures, test specifications and conditions, and how to conduct experimental works. On the other hand, final exam will be written exam. The final exam will cover classroom notes and lectures, what you have learned about surveying equipment and tools and the use and features of each equipment, laboratory reports and calculations, laboratory exercises and field projects, and any thing discussed inside the laboratory.
CE 343 By Dr. Ghazi Al-Khateeb Fall 2009_2010 5 IX. Manners in the Laboratory:
Laboratory lectures will be informal to the extent that you are encouraged to ask questions and participate in any discussion at any time. However, side discussions between students during lectures will not be tolerated due to the fact that this kind of discussions distract other students. Good conduct of students is very important and include: attending all classes, being on-time, not doing other tasks, not responding to cellular phones (turning off cellular phones is alternatively recommended), respecting other students, etc. All these behaviors will provide a healthy and comfortable environment to all students. Although good manners in the laboratory do not affect your grade, providing a favorable impression during laboratory lectures and work may impact a pass/fail grade.
