|---|---|---|
Understand the place of engineering surveying in civil infrastructure projects, particularly transportation engineering, and the need for accuracy and precision. By the end of the course the student will see the relevance of engineering surveying to civil projects, be able to apply the appropriate tests for accuracy and precision and have a general knowledge of geomatics and its application in the field of engineering surveying and civil and environmental engineering. |

First Test Computational Project Final Test |
Develop competency in the use of modern surveying instruments and methods. By the end of the course the student will be able to complete the field work, carry out the relevant computations and determine the correctness of the work for tasks such as traversing, level traversing using differential leveling, understand civil drawings and the setting out and control of civil works, particularly transportation engineering. |

Computational Project Final Test Final Marks |
Integration of transportation engineering and engineering surveying. By the end of the course the student will understand the seamless integration of the results of engineering surveying into the transportation design process. Through the use of geomatics the student will be able to gather and process the necessary information for a transport design, such as a new road/rail alignment with the associated geometric design, long section, cross sections, earthwork quantities and mass haul diagram. |

Academic integrity
The University of Auckland will not tolerate cheating, or assisting others to cheat, and views cheating in coursework as a serious academic offence. The work that a student submits for grading must be the student's own work, reflecting his or her learning. Where work from other sources is used, it must be properly acknowledged and referenced. This requirement also applies to sources on the world-wide web. A student's assessed work may be reviewed against electronic source material using computerised detection mechanisms. Upon reasonable request, students may be required to provide an electronic version of their work for computerised review.
All students enrolled at the University of Auckland are required to complete a compulsory Academic Integrity course, usually in their first semester/year of enrolment. The University of Auckland’s full guidelines on procedures and penalties for academic dishonesty are available here.
This site intends to guide you through your chosen specialisation at the Faculty of Engineering. The semester links lets you view detailed course information for your chosen course. Please note that the structure displayed for your specialisation here will reflect what’s available over the upcoming semesters, but detailed information may be from a previous year.
All the information here is accurate at the time of publication, but you are are advised to additionally consult our official document, the University of Auckland Calendar, for accurate academic regulations, requirements, and policies.
