Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

This course deals with the application of least squared adjustment to topometric computations. A large part of the course is dedicated to the application of the theory of errors and to the use of some specific statistical tests in topometry.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Enable the student to apply the theory of errors (variance propagation / least-squares) to topometric computations (levelling, traversing, network).
Enable the student to evaluate the quality of topometric computations output including output of computing commercial software.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

theory of errors and basic land surveying

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Theory, tutorials, practicals. Problem-based approach.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face and autonomous work.

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

Recommended or required readings

Assessment methods and criteria

Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

Any session :

- In-person

written exam ( open-ended questions ) AND oral exam

- Remote

written exam ( open-ended questions ) AND oral exam

- If evaluation in "hybrid"

preferred in-person


Additional information:

Continuous evaluation (reports and practicals) and oral exam (written preparation)
