Survey Math 101

This course will prepare students for topics covered in Survey Math 101 and will help prepare them for Level 1 of the NSPS Certified Survey Technician Exam.  Basic math computations relating to conventional surveying techniques will be demonstrated and real-field survey scenarios will be provided for attendees to solve. By the end of this course, attendees will be able to manipulate equations to solve for a missing variable, solve right triangles for the missing elements when given two known elements, and derive angles, distances, and new coordinates from given coordinates.

This class is designed to give an overview of basic math principles most often used in the land surveying profession.  The class will be participating in solving math problems using real-world examples in a group setting.

NCEES PS Exam Prep Study Group

This is a course designed to describe the process of applying for, paying for, locating a testing center for, arriving at the testing center for and taking the NCEES PS exam.  I will have examples of personal experience when taking the exam including my own experiences. This course will also branch into study material for this exam, dos and don'ts for exam taking, how to prepare yourself, and how to stay relaxed when taking exams.

Survey Math 301

Math 301 serves to be beneficial to those reviewing their math skills for levels 1-3 of the CST exam, the SIT exam, or seeking a better understanding of the basic math behind the mechanics of surveying.  This course demonstrates intermediate math computations relating to conventional surveying techniques and provides real field survey scenarios for attendees to solve. Topics presented include: ABC’s of Trigonometry, Algebraic Manipulation, Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines Formulas.  By the end of this seminar attendees will be able to; apply the ABC’s of Mathematics to use Law of Sines and Law of Cosines to solve for missing elements of oblique triangles.

Attendees should bring a calculator with trigonometric functions and be familiar with its use.

Recommended to take Survey of Math 101 prior to this course.
