Course Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to monitor engineering structures using surveying methods. The unit covers analysing project specifications and design information to identify components to be measured and monitored, and planning monitoring activities. The unit also covers implementing project management mechanisms, including risk management, and reviewing work outcomes against specifications. It covers setting up and using surveying equipment to measure, record and reduce surveying data using spatial coordinate and reference systems. The unit requires the ability to validate the accuracy of data, and identify and resolve discrepancies and non-conformities between specifications and activities.
The unit supports those who work in a technical management role in a surveying team.

- Observe
- Monitor
- Process
Observation data for complex engineering surveying structures.
The total number of scheduled hours of teaching, learning and assessment involved in this course includes all planned activities (face to face classes, lectures, workshops and seminars; workplace visits, online learning and other forms of structured teaching and learning). It also covers the amount of effort necessary to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, observation of work performance, discussions with supervisors and others providing third party evidence and one on one and group assessment sessions with students.
Students will be able to access course information and learning materials through the Learning Hub and may be provided with additional materials in class. Lists of relevant reference books, resources in the library and accessible Internet sites will be provided where possible. You will also use equipment and software packages in the laboratory for the project work. During the course, you will be directed to websites to enhance your knowledge and understanding of difficult concepts.
