The course is designed to provide students with knowledge on how to conduct construction surveying, booking
and plotting.

SINOPSIS (SYNOPSIS):

To provide knowledge on soil investigation which related to building foundation include some of the test that
use in soil investigation analysis.

HASIL PEMBELAJARAN (LEARNING OUTCOMES):

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

1. Explain soil characteristics and the relations in construction work (C2, PLO1)
2. Practice the skills in handling the tools and equipment for soil investigation at site (P3, PLO2)
3. Assist in leading the preparation of soil investigation project at site (A2, PLO9)
