  • Explain the general scheme of the rectangular system: points, meridian, base lines, parallels, etc.
  • Understand township boundaries
  • Discuss subdivision of townships
  • Discuss extension and completion surveys
  • Explain methods of section subdivision
  • Discuss protraction diagrams and developing amended diagrams
  • Explain methods of surveying amended protraction diagrams
  • Discuss meandering & swamp/overflowed lands
  • Discuss limits of closure for original survey & soil classification
  • Understand legal settings of Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM)

    This course focuses on the equipment and equipment components used to generate heating and cooling. It does not include fans and pumps. This distinction is clear for most equipment types, such as unit heaters, boilers, and chillers. However, for packaged air-conditioning (AC) equipment the distinction can be subtle. Most packaged AC equipment is treated as a unit by performance rating procedures. Hence, separation of the fans is difficult. For this study, only the refrigerant compressors of packaged equipment are considered.
