Organisation and examination :
|
||||||||
| Teaching in the first semester, review in January | ||||||||
|
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
|
||||||||
| Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program | ||||||||
|
Learning unit 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 learning unit :
|
||||||||
| - 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 | ||||||||
|
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
|
||||||||
| 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 | ||||||||
