The actual distribution of marks at different taxonomy levels (of R, U and A) in the question paper may vary from above table.
Suggested Student Activities:
Other than the classroom and laboratory learning, following are the suggested student-related co-curricular activities which can be undertaken to accelerate the attainment of the various outcomes in this course: Students should conduct following activities in group and prepare reports of about 5 pages for each activity, also collect/record physical evidences for their (students) portfolio which will be useful for their placement interviews:
- Measure area of small open ground by plane tabling.
- Prepare a flex chart to explain one method of plane tabling.
- Measure the height of the flag post using Theodolite.
- Set the alignment of proposed road using Theodolite.
- Measure the height of the flag post using Theodolite as tacheometer.
- Plot the contours using Total station by direct method.
- Mark building layout using Total station.
- Measure distance between two distant(500m) points using EDM

Suggested Micro-Projects
Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to be assigned to him/her in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the micro-project are group-based. However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, it should be preferably be individually undertaken to build up the skill and confidence in every student to become problem solver so that s/he contributes to the projects of the industry. In special situations where groups have to be formed for micro-projects, the number of students in the group should not exceed three.
The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshop-based, laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. Each student will have to maintain dated work diary consisting of individual contribution in the project work and give a seminar presentation of it before submission. The total duration of the micro-project should not be less than 16 (sixteen) student engagement hours during the course. The student ought to submit micro-project by the end of the semester to develop the industry oriented COs.
A suggestive list of micro-projects are given here. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned faculty:
- Collect the relevant technical and commercial information of advanced survey instruments available in the market with specifications.
- Carry out comparative study of following survey instruments of different make and brands: Total station/ EDM/GPS/Micro optic theodolite.
- Set the profiles of curves at the changes in alignment of road in the premises of the institute.
- Determine the RLs of the existing structures like lintels, chajja, slab, and beam using Tacheometer and Total station in a multi-storeyed building and compare the results.
- Download specifications for Total station/ EDM/GPS/Micro optic theodolite and make a chart.
- Coordinate System -UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinate system
- Mobile devices used for distance measurement
- 360 degree lazer
- Information about Drone survey
