Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the first semester, review in January |
|
Course contents :
|
| This introduction to land surveying present in a broad way all the surveying operations (levelling, traversing, survey, setting out) and the associated instruments (levels, theodolite, total station). |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| - to get a basic knowledge of surveying operations and practical methods
- to get an advanced knowledge of the instruments
- to be able to organise a small surveying work
- to masterise the diverse corrections that can be applyied to observations |
|
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 |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Course notes are available on eCampus.
Numerous recent reference books (mostly in English) are available at the library of earth sciences. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Each field work session will be the subject of a written report which is graded. The arithmetical average of these reports will account for 15% in the final assessment. The written examination (problems and computations) is organsied for 35% of the points. The oral examination (theory) is organised for 50% of the points |
