This course builds valuable field skills by adding the knowledge of error analysis and data manipulation and adjustment to more advanced projects. Students will cover the Mathematical model, accuracy, propagation of errors, geoid and spheroid reference, deviation of the vertical and parameters of the spheroid. The practical aspect of the course applies acquired surveying skills and techniques to complete a survey to professional standards.
This course provides on the job training, providing opportunities for the student to implement all the knowledge acquired throughout the Land Surveying programme.
This course presents concepts in survey and civil drafting with an emphasis on site plans, profiles, local land survey plans, topography, land development and engineering drawings. The course provides instruction in the use of AutoCAD and other Survey specific drafting software.
This course takes the form of a fieldwork practicum and provides the students with hands-on training in construction surveying. Students carry out common activities required of the surveying technician on a civil engineering project. They practice care and use of precision equipment; observation, booking, checking, and preservation of survey data; use of computer systems/software common to the field, and calculations involving vertical and horizontal controls.
This course introduces basic surveying and gives a theoretical overview of the discipline. Topics covered include units of measurement, linear surveying, spirit leveling, longitudinal and cross sections, and contouring. The practical aspect emphasizes the use and maintenance of survey equipment, site surveys and neat and legible recording of field notes.
This course expands on knowledge and skills acquired in Survey Theory and Practice I. Angle determination and electronic distance measurement are covered to enable traversing to establish control. The following content is covered: Theodolite traversing, computation and adjustment, concepts of bearing, Azimuth, coordinate computations, topographical surveying, optical distance measurement, tachometry, EDM. Applications, trigonometrically heighting and curvature and refraction. Students will complete a control traverse, applying the principles covered.
This course is designed introduce students to present day topics that relate to the internet. Such topics include E-commerce, building web pages, internet security, and others. Students will gain a hands-on experience on using the Internet and creating web pages.
This course is designed to cover the main principles of systems analysis and design. It requires the study of information systems, with special attention being paid to the methods by which a problem is analysed to lead to a successful solution, as well as the design principles involved. It also includes practical work in which an appropriate system, or subsystem may be produced. A variety of case studies are used to highlight the various aspects of systems analysis and design.
This course is a basic introduction to table appointments, their selection and use as well as an introduction to both practical and theoretical skills in table decorations and rudiments of table setting and service.
This course introduces participants to the fundamental concepts in taxation and tax management as it relates to corporations, partnerships and individuals. Participants will examine the dynamic discipline of Barbados’ tax system as it affects financial decisions made by individual, corporations, and other taxpayers.
This Workshop provides an introduction to coding using the programme SCRATCH. While the rudiments of SCRATCH and block coding are introduced, it is critical to note that an emphasis should be placed on the thinking processes that give rise to code in order to obtain maximum gains.
This course aims to enhance students’ ability to communicate the content of their specialty areas within Physical Education through attachment to an institution. Student teachers will develop through interaction with their charges, an understanding of the cultural and political nature of teaching, experience in motivating others, and value for the physical education needs of children and adolescents. The immersion approach to this attachment will afford student-teachers the opportunity to function in the authentic environment in which the teaching of Physical Education and Sports takes place.
