2. LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes

The course includes introduction to Geodesy, errors in measurement, the Cartesian coordinate system, small area land surveying, area calculation, measurements and instruments (angles and lengths), polygonometria, triangulation, leveling, reference systems and introduction to Satellite Geodesy.

Upon successful completion of this course the students will acquire new knowledge and specific skills on the following subjects:

  • Will have knowledge of fundamental problems of Geodesy.
  • Will gain knowledge on basic geodetical instruments.
  • Will be able to understand the degree of difficulty of surveying in a project.
  • Will be able to create the topographical maps in a case study.
 
General Competencies/Skills
 
  • Review, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Work autonomously
  • Work in teams
  • Work in multi-scientific and research environment
