The Diploma in Civil Engineering Department of Darshan Institute of Engineering and Technology for Diploma Studies organized a specialized field training session on levelling and contouring survey, providing Semester 3 Diploma Civil Engineering students with valuable hands-on exposure to practical surveying techniques. The training focused on the use of the Dumpy Level for taking Back Sight (BS) and Fore Sight (FS) readings, determining ground elevations, recording field observations, and preparing data for contour mapping. Through direct field practice, 35 students developed a deeper understanding of levelling and contouring procedures and their practical applications in civil engineering. The training emphasized accuracy, technical proficiency, and systematic fieldwork, enabling students to gain greater confidence in handling surveying instruments and conducting field measurements. Overall, the activity strengthened students’ practical surveying skills and enhanced their ability to apply classroom knowledge effectively in real-world civil engineering contexts.
