Schedule
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 a basic knowledge of the instruments - to be able to organise a small surveying work - to be able to exchange with geomaticians
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, 3 practical work sessions are organised (problem-based). These will include field work such as a closed levelling, a traverse and a tacheometric site survey and a setting out.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Face-to-face
Recommended or required readings
Course notes are available on eCampus platform. 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. A written examination is organsied and eventually, an oral examination is organised. The whole evaluation process is described in the course's overheads.
