Surveyor MCQ: Objective Question Answers

FIRST YEAR: In the beginning of the course the trainees are acquainted with occupational safety & health, PPE, etc. Observation of all safety aspects is mandatory. The safety aspect covers components like OSH & E, PPE, Fire extinguisher, First Aid, etc. The practical part starts with basic drawing (consisting of lettering, numbering, geometrical figure, symbols & representations). Later the drawing skills imparted are drawing of different scales, projections, perform site survey and prepare a site plan using chain / tape, prismatic compass, perform AutoCAD drawing. Knowledge and application of Computer Aided Drawing has been introduced. Workspace creating drawing using toolbars, commands, and menus. Plotting drawing from CAD. Different site survey using Plane table( radiation, intersection, traversing, determination of height), Theodolite (measurement of angle, traversing, computation of area), Levelling instrument (different levelling – differential, reciprocal, etc.), tacheometer (determination of horizontal and vertical distance, constants, etc.), field book entry, plotting, mapping, calculation of area, preparing traverse drawing, simple building drawing using CAD are being taught in the practical.

SECOND YEAR: Making topographical map using Level instruments with contours ( Interpolation of contour, preparation of section, computation of volume, setting of simple, compound, reverse, transition and vertical curve), performing survey using Total Station and preparation of map (measurement of angle, co-ordinates and heights, downloading survey data and plotting), making of site plan by Cadastral survey (preparation of site plan, calculation of plot area, etc.), performing road project survey (location survey and preparation of route map, profile/ longitudinal / cross sectional levelling and plotting) and survey drawing using CAD. Drawing of cartographic projection, setting and application of GIS & GPS techniques in various fields, collection and processing of data, performing hydrographic survey (determining hydrographic depth, measuring velocity of flow, determining cross sectional area of river, calculating the discharge of a river, etc.), performing transmission line site survey (making of alignment, conducting detailed survey, final location survey and making of tower foundation pit point), performing railway line site survey, drawing of building by CAD and preparation of estimation are being done as part of practical training.
