Surveying for Chestnut Branch stream restoration

The primary objective of this Junior Clinic project was to develop a field experience in which Freshman Clinic I students use a level to develop a topographical map around Rowan Hall. The tasks performed in Fall 99 were:

  • Used a level to develop two topographical maps: one for the field between Rowan and Wilson Halls, and one for the field between Rowan Hall and Bowe Blvd.
  • Formulated a problem statement for the Freshman Clinic surveying module. Problem Statement - Students are directed to determine if a nearby stream can be diverted through the Rowan Hall Pond, with the stream flow returned via a culvert.
  • Developed a user's manual that enables freshmen to accumulate data using a level.
  • Developed a user's manual for making a topographic map with Microsoft Excel.
  • Created a set of lab instructions for a Freshman Clinic surveying module.

The Student Report is available.
