Foreword
I am pleased to present a foreword to this book, aimed at explaining surveying methods and practices to Civil and Mining Engineers. The authors have made a sharp distinction between engineering surveying, a profession in its own right, and the surveying knowledge requirements expected of Civil and Mining Engineers. The book is the result of close cooperation between the Departments of Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Spatial Sciences at Curtin University and the University of Western Australia; the course has been presented to undergraduate and postgraduate students over a ten year period. Through theory and practice, using lecture material, workshops and practical exercises, the half semester course provides the Civil and Mining Engineer with an understanding of surveying, enabling an informed discussion with surveyors. Additionally the course promotes and exam
