The role of a surveyor is described as follow:
To determine, measure and represent land, three dimensional objects, point fields and trajectories
To assemble and interpret land and geographically related information,
To use that information for the planning and efficient administration of the land, the sea and any structure thereon and,
To conduct research into the above practices and to develop them.
The broad objective of this module of mathematics is based on helping the students to acquire a required background of ordinary differential equations (1st and 2nd order), descriptive statistics and probability with a logical and creative understanding.
Having successfully completed this module, students will be able to read, understand and give the right interpretation of different texts in the field of technology. Students will get opportunities to develop English vocabulary, terms and expressions related to their respective field of technology .They will also be able to express themselves fluently both orally and in writing.
Strength of materials is a branch of applied mechanics that deals with the behavior of solid bodies subjected to various types of loading. This field of study is known by several names, including "Strength of materials" and "mechanics of deformable bodies". The solid bodies considered in this course include axially loaded members, shafts in torsion, beams, and columns, as well as structures that are assemblies of these components. Usually the objectives of our analysis will be the determination of the stresses, strains, bending and shear force, forces generated in truss members created by the loads. If these quantities can be found for all values of load up to the failure load, then we will have a complete picture of the mechanical behavior of the body.
