Construction Surveying: Roadway Route Surveys
In this course, the surveyor will learn the surveying procedures used to perform a roadway route survey. Additionally, the surveyor will learn some of the pertinent design principles of geometric roadway design used by transportation designers. These include: The use of superelevation (or banking of curves), tangent to curve transition, sight distances, and design speed.
Utilities Public and Otherwise
The word “utility” implies usefulness to the public, but surveyors may find that what is considered a “utility” in one place is not always a utility in another jurisdiction. The distinction between regulated and unregulated utilities defines the legal rights and protections these utilities may have, or the restrictions to which they may be subject. The distinction also affects how surveyors access or interpret information about the location of utilities. The statutes and case law included in this class are intended to help those who plan or stake out new or relocated utility facilities, or recover existing utility locations in the field.
Ethical Practice in Engineering and Land Surveying
Explore the ethics of engineering and land surveying, including different aspects of the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) as well as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Code of Ethics.
Legal Descriptions
Examine legal descriptions that are written on warranties and deeds.
Rights and Responsibilities in the Lands of Others: The Effect of Easements on Surveyors
This course is designed to provide an overview of how easements are used and how they affect the land surveyor.

OC: Water Allocation Systems
The two
basic water allocation systems, Riparian Rights and Prior Appropriations, used
in the United States are based on pragmatic values and environmental conditions
that have defined how Americans prioritize and distribute surface water and
ground water to those with a legitimate need for its use.
Although
both doctrines are sensible in their distribution methods, that commonality is
where the similarity ends. Their
colorful histories, unique philosophies, legal battles and evolving management
methods are thoroughly explored with-in their own chapters: "Water Rights
West of the Mississippi" and "Water Rights East of the Mississippi".; The final chapter is dedicated to
groundwater aquifers; the different types of aquifers, potential impacts to
surface water as well as their associated allocation systems.
OC: Surveying at Night
This course will teach the student how to determine when it is necessary to conduct nighttime surveying, how to plan for the activity, and how to do it safely and efficiently.
