- to get a basic knowledge of the instruments
- to be able to organise a small surveying work
- to be able to exchange with geomaticians |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| The course assumes good knowledge of basic mathematics: geometry, trigonometry, as well as of some elements of general physics: optical and electronic mechanics. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| In addition to the theoretical course, 4 practical work sessions are organised (problem-based). These will include field work such as a closed levelling, a traverse and a tacheometric site survey. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face-to-face |
