Welcome to Surveying 1B (Spring 2018):
Field Trip Friday, March 30, 2018, from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. This field trip will
help you understand real-world application of seemingly abstract topics in Global
Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS).
Bradley Barnhart, Nobel Systems application developer, demostrated the use of high
tech Trimble unit to locate the existing fire hydrant. GPS is a complex technology
but understanding it can be quite easy if you take it one step at a time. GPS can
fix the exact position in a matter of minutes anywhere in the world. HELLO GPS!

Field Trip No. 2 Spring 2018: High Tech Land Surveying Demostration, May 26, 2018,
at Mt.SAC Parking Lot 18 :
A local professional surveyor demostrated his precise fine-tuned system with a combination
that consists of state of the art field equipment, a computer for field data collection,
and an office-based CADD system. The Trimble RTS Series Robotic Total Stations help
land surveyors perform layout tasks significantly more efficiently than with conventional
total stations. One of the benefits of the Robotic Total Station is that it requires
one-person operation for maximum flexibility and cost savings.

Final Exam (Field Work): Determine the area and earthwork quntities for a building
pad.
