Total Station

A total station is an electronic/optical instrument used in modern surveying and building constructions. The total station is an electronic theodolite (transit) integrated with an electronic distance meter (EDM). The total station is used to measure the horizontal and vertical distance and angles between points located on ground. All the readings taken by this instrument can be stored into the inbuilt memory and the readings can be manipulated in either office or field itself. It has millimeter level accuracy. Hence knowledge of total station would help the students to fetch job opportunities in the field of surveying.

Revit Architecture

Revit is a building information modelling software for architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers, designers and contractors. The software allows users to design a building and structure and its components in 3D, annotate the model with 2D drafting elements, and access building information from the building model’s database. Revit is 4D building information modeling capable with tools to plan and track various stages in the building’s lifecycle, from concept to construction and later maintenance and/or demolition. Revit can be used as a very powerful collaboration tool between different disciplines in the building design sphere. An experienced user can create realistic and accurate families ranging from furniture to lighting fixtures, as well as import existing models from other programs. Hence this is promising software which would help the students to fetch job opportunities.
