Survey Camp is an army tradition that was discontinued in the later part of twentieth century but was reinstated in 2002 across the universities of the world with a whole new structure.〔(Survey camp ) on the Texas A&M University website〕 It is the civil engineering training course for two weeks usually after completion four semesters of bachelor of technology〔(Civil engineering department of University of Toronto )〕 that consists of 8 days working in the field and 6 days of map preparation in the computer lab. Experts say that survey camp provides necessary foundation for civil engineers. Each day in the course there are at least 8 hours of working in the field. Students are divided into groups and they get out with practising surveyors and use their equipment out in the field. A camp incharge teacher appoints group leaders for each group; the leaders are responsible for all the works of his particular group and the equipment. In the computer lab, students learn applications such as AutoCAD and Carlson Survey. The students use these programs to take data collected from the field to develop topographic maps of the particular area. The basic aim of the survey camp is to know various works carried out in the industrial field by surveying, which includes determining the topography of particular area with the help of survey work, map study and reconnaissance work. The methods used for surveying are traversing, levelling and contouring〔(Survey camp at Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary Park ), Gurgaon〕〔Surveying, Volume 1 by C. L. Kochher〕 ==Instruments== The instruments used include: * Auto Level * Total station * Theodolite (transit) * Compass (prismatic and surveyor) * Ranging rods * Measuring Tape * Levelling Staff * Plane table and all its accessories (in case drawing is prepared with hand) * Tripod stand (for optical instruments)〔(Surveying ) by B.
