Content
Engineering geology and surveying knowledge is essential for locating, designing, constructing and managing any civil engineering infrastructures. To equip you with a valuable knowledge in and understanding of engineering geology and surveying, this unit covers basic surveying principles of linear and angular measurements, civil engineering applications of surveying: control surveys, topographical maps and roadway curves, minerals and rock forming processes, geological structures and soil profile development, engineering properties of rocks and subsurface exploration and site selection.
Assessment
Examination 60%, one assignment 20%, one practical work report 20%. To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must achieve an overall mark of at least 40% in the examination and compulsory attendance is required by all students to unit-specific activities at the Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus. These unit-specific activities may be undertaken either at scheduled sessions on multiple days during the trimester or during a single day of unit-specific activities scheduled during Week 9.
