This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory, principles, equipment, and field procedures of levelling, a fundamental operation in surveying used to determine the relative heights (elevations) of points on the earth's surface.
The course is designed for students and professionals in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, and related fields who require the skills to accurately measure and manage vertical data for design and construction projects.
Construction Material Science is the study of the properties, behavior, and performance of materials used in building and civil engineering works. It focuses on understanding how materials react to different conditions so that engineers and builders can choose the right materials for safe, durable, and cost-effective structures.
This module introduces students to basic construction materials and why they are tested in civil engineering. It explains common materials such as soil, cement, concrete, steel, timber, and bitumen. Students learn the importance of testing to ensure materials are strong, safe, and durable. The module also covers basic laboratory safety, how materials are collected for testing, and the use of standard testing guidelines.
