College of Petroleum and Mining Engineering

The surveying laboratory is one of the basic laboratories in engineering colleges, and is concerned with teaching students the theoretical and practical foundations of surveying.
The importance of the surveying lab:
Enhancing practical understanding: It allows students to apply the laws and measurement methods they have learned theoretically in real-world situations.
Developing engineering skills: It develops students’ skills in using surveying instruments such as balances, theodolites, and others.
Accuracy of implementation: Helps train students to collect data with high accuracy, which is the basis for designing roads, buildings, and facilities.
Teamwork: Encourages students to work in teams, simulating a real-world engineering work environment.
Relationship to real-world projects: Used in field projects that require precise land and facility planning.
The purpose of the surveying lab is to:
Learn how to measure distances, angles, and elevations.
Draw topographic maps.
Analyze and interpret surveying data.
Apply various surveying methods, such as longitudinal, transverse, and detailed surveying.
Understand surveying errors and methods for reducing them.
