INTRODUCTION

Surveying is the art of determining the relative positions of points on, above or beneath the surface of the earth by means of direct or indirect measurements of distance, direction and elevation. It also includes the art of establishing points by predetermined angular and linear measurements. It is the most important subject matter before and during all Engineering works like Civil Engineering works such designing and construction of highways, water supply systems, irrigation projects, buildings etc.

The main objectives of surveying courses allocated for civil engineering students is to promote them the basic knowledge of different surveying techniques relevant to civil engineering works in their professional practice. After completion of all surveying courses including ten days survey camp work organized by the Department of Survey, “Survey Instruction Committee” of NEPAL Engineering COLLEGE for better enhancement to students to use all surveying technique covered in lecture classes. The B.E. third year students of 2002 batch of about 40 students were on ten days survey camp during l4 April to 23rd April at NEA training center. The survey camp was taken as a part of course of four-year civil engineering study.
