Other Requisite(s): First Aid Certificate: Students undertaking this unit are required to have completed an Approved First Aid Course prior to enrolment.
 
Syllabus: A field camp under as realistic as possible conditions, involving teamwork and organisational skills development in order to complete three-dimensional geodetic surveys to a prescribed precision, and a hypothetical rural subdivision according to Western Australian legislation. The field surveys include, but are not limited to - reconnaissance, triangulation, triliteration, traversing, GPS, EDM, astronomical observations, spirit leveling, datum transformations, map projections, and least squares network adjustment and analysis. Auxiliary yet important activities include, but are not limited to - equipment calibration, project cost estimation, logistical planning, and professional report presentation to 'clients' in a production-type environment. Comprises lectures of two hours, twice per semester and two weeks per semester.
