Detailed Departmental Elective Courses
Departmental electives form a critical part of the curriculum, allowing students to specialize in advanced areas of interest. Here are detailed descriptions of several key elective courses:
Geodesy and Geodetic Surveying (SUR-301)
This course delves into the mathematical and physical principles underlying geodetic surveying. Students learn about reference frames, satellite positioning systems, gravity field modeling, and coordinate transformations. Practical sessions involve using GPS receivers and conducting geodetic surveys in real-world environments.
Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry (SUR-302)
This elective focuses on the acquisition and interpretation of images from satellites and aircraft platforms. Topics include image enhancement, classification algorithms, stereo photogrammetry, and object-oriented analysis using tools like ENVI and ERDAS IMAGINE.
Construction and Infrastructure Surveying (SUR-303)
This course covers layout techniques for buildings, roads, and other infrastructure projects. Students gain experience with construction surveying equipment and learn how to apply survey data in construction planning and execution phases.
Hydrographic Surveying (SUR-304)
Designed for students interested in marine environments, this course explores underwater navigation techniques, bathymetric charting, and coastal engineering surveys. Practical components include water-based fieldwork and analysis of sonar data.
Environmental and Hazard Assessment Surveying (SUR-305)
This elective introduces students to the application of surveying in environmental impact assessments and hazard risk evaluation. Focus areas include landslide mapping, flood modeling, and earthquake fault analysis using GIS and remote sensing techniques.
Digital Mapping and 3D Visualization (SUR-306)
Students learn to create detailed digital maps and 3D models using modern software tools. The course covers photogrammetry, LiDAR processing, VR development, and integration of survey data into immersive environments.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department places a strong emphasis on project-based learning to ensure students develop both technical skills and practical problem-solving capabilities. Projects are structured across multiple semesters with increasing complexity.
Mini-projects begin in the second semester, focusing on foundational surveying tasks like simple traverses and leveling. By the fourth semester, students work on more advanced projects involving data integration and visualization techniques.
The final-year capstone project involves collaboration with industry partners or government agencies. Students are assigned mentors from faculty members or external experts who guide them through the entire lifecycle of a real-world surveying challenge.
Projects are evaluated based on technical accuracy, innovation, documentation quality, and presentation skills. A rubric is used to ensure consistent grading across all projects, with feedback provided at each stage of development.
