I was told by seniors that site surveying this subject is all about mathematics. However, after all, it was not that easy. It is more to Physics for me, to be honest, but it ain't physics or mathematics, it is Site surveying. This module mostly cover on how we use a specific professional machine like theodolite to measure the angles and etc. We learned to understand leveling, traverse, EDM and etc.
For this subject, we will be having one test which is mid term test and two lab reports. Report 1 will be cover the topic of leveling while report 2 will be covering the topic of theodolite. Both reports are based on the data that we have obtained from the field work that we have done.
In a nutshell, this subject is interesting because we get to experience field work. We get the opportunity to try out the machines such as theodolite to do our field work. Unlike other subjects, this subject let us get involved in the field work so that we can experience the future site work. Although the field work is tiring and might having the chance to go through the process of sun burn, the experience that we have gained is precious. Lecturer has shared a lot of experiences on the construction site as well which is what I appreciated. Communicating with group members so that we can cooperate to complete the field work as fast and accurate as possible. This process might improve my communication skills for my future life so that I can communicate well with my future colleagues. Besides, our group members has work together to complete the reports as well.
