Survey Camp

The Civil Engineering Department at The University of Faisalabad organized a survey camp for students from 1st May 2023 to 12th May 2023 at Hunza Gilgit-Baltistan. The participation of 34 students and 2 faculty members in the camp shows the enthusiasm and dedication of the department toward providing hands-on learning experiences to students.

The students were shown the hill features by contouring, the cultivated area, forest area and all topographical details with the help of conventional symbols. In the field works more than 10 exercises and events were performed to learn the technical aspects required in surveying. During this camp, the students also performed Plane Table Survey by different methods, measurement by Auto Level, Theodolite and Total Station Surveying.

The main motive behind the survey camp was to expose the students to the practical aspects of civil engineering and make them familiar with the fieldwork. It is essential for civil engineering students to understand the difference between theoretical and practical work and the challenges that arise during fieldwork. The survey camp can provide an excellent opportunity for students to learn about these differences and challenges.

 

 

Overall, the survey camp was an enriching and valuable experience for civil engineering students. It helped them to develop a deeper understanding of the practical aspects of their field and prepare for the challenges they may face in their future careers.
