Description
To equip the student with the skills to solve
advanced cadastral and engineering survey
computations problems, using the knowledge acquired
in Survey Computations 001 and 101. Furthermore,
the student must develop the ability to apply
knowledge, and derive solutions to problems
analytically, not only in standard problem
situations, but in unfamiliar situations.
To further the student's mastery of computational
skills, both long-hand and computer-aided, used in
the solution of these problems.
To introduce the student to the programming of the
Hewlett-Packard Advanced Programmable Calculator or
equivalent device, and its application to survey
computations, using existing software.

Evidence Guide
Continuous assessment, comprising programming
assignments and written tests. 100%
Part A (60%)
A programming assignment, involving:
- Alpha prompts
- a minimum of two input variables
- a minimum of two output variables
- validation
- use of printer.
10%
A higher level programming assignment performed as
an individual student project, with the complexity
tailored to each student's personal aptitude for
computer programming, involving:
- efficient use of relevant functions
- loops/branching
- user instructions.
20%
A two-hour two-part written test, covering Part A
objectives, and comprising:
Part 1 - Short answers
(No aids or calculators permitted). 15%
Part 2 - Programming and program interpretation
(calculator and manuals provided). 15%
Part B (40%)
A two-hour open book written test, in which students
are required to:
- solve (using calculators and software provided)
- describe their method of solution of survey computations
problems, as described in Section B of the objectives.
* In order to pass this subject, a student must
achieve a minimum of 40% of the available marks in
each section of the assessment, and a minimum
aggregate mark of 50%.
