Student Survey Transit Projects

Every student of technology who plans on going into the building trades, or surveying, should make one of these transits" says Teacher George Granlun. Students can make the transit inexpensively from scrap materials plus the vials/tubes offered below. The transit can be used for laying out building and structure sites, fence lines and barn pole locations, etc. It can also be used with a leveling rod to do primitive contour mapping and profile drawings. (Also see Beginner's Survey course below.)

Students are broken up into 3 person surveying parties & go into the field to perform specific exercises. When they are finished they will have a "mini masters" degree in surveying! This program is loaded with information. The Maps & Compass book listed below will complement the program. You will need a set of 2 0875 vials & tubes for each transit you make.

Well within the range of 10th graders, this course was originally designed to tech real estate sales people how to find corners, draw plats from land descriptions, layout subdivisions plus topo maps all without the use of trigonometry. It has been modified to accommodate students headed for the building trades. Only simple math is needed!
