(I) Series of Site Surveying Workshops
This series of training workshops is suitable for those teaching F.4-F.7 Science, Physics, Mathematics or Technology subjects, and whose students are required to conduct laboratory experiments. The study of these subjects should be connected to real-life problems and, before conducting fieldwork, the knowledge of engineering surveying, and the setting-out techniques and methods used during building and civil engineering projects will be described. In the process of applying site surveying techniques, the applications of physics (e.g. laser and infra-red technologies) and mathematical solutions (e.g. triangular geometry) will be applied and the learning cases will be formulated. During the fieldwork, the surveying instrument Leica TCR307 Total Station will be introduced to participants and a trial of this modern electronic surveying instrument will be conducted in an outside area within the City University of Hong Kong campus.

(II) Quantity Surveying Studio
This series of training workshops is suitable for those teaching Science, Physics, Mathematics or Technology subjects at the F.4-F.7 level in secondary schools, and for students interested in mathematics and sciences.
A basic knowledge of quantity surveying (QS) and the standard method of measurement for building and civil engineering projects will be described and explained first. Then, technical drawings (e.g., plans, sections, elevations and details) and mathematical solutions (e.g., leveling and girth) will be introduced. In order to help participants (both teachers and students) understand the application of QS, some real construction projects (local and overseas) will be cited as examples.
Moreover, participants will have the opportunity to apply the basic QS concept and measurement techniques to some simple construction projects. Participants should be able to read technical construction drawings and apply mathematical methods to quantify construction materials in the complicated Built Environment after attending the workshops.
Attending Dates:
28 June 2006 9:00am - 12:00 noon & 2:00pm - 6:00pm (7 hours)
29 June 2006 9:00am - 12:00 noon & 2:00pm - 6:00pm (7 hours) |
