Course developers

Course abstract

The aim of the study course is to acquire knowledge and skills in the preparation of site plans, leveling measurements, and topographic surveying using various types of geodetic instruments (theodolite, level, total station, etc.). The course provides competencies in establishing survey control networks and planning control points for fieldwork, as well as in processing and presenting the collected data. Ability to assess the operational condition of geodetic instruments, including instrument checks under field conditions.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

1. Knows the importance of geodetic network and its use in topographic surveying
2. Know the cycle of topographic surveying and then sequence it. Activities in practice
3. Can use the acquired theoretical knowledge in practice, guided by the given task in specific terrain conditions, to work carefully and accurately both independently and in a team, to draw up measurement documents by regulatory documents; Activities in practice
4. Can independently obtain, select and analyze information necessary for the performance of work in practice, use it, make decisions by their competence and solve problems related to the work to be performed, understand professional ethics, be able to assess the impact of their professional activities on the environment and society. Able to critically evaluate their knowledge and skills and understand the need for further education, be responsible for the quality of their work. Activities in practice
5. Can compile and draw up a report on the performed geodetic activities. Defense of practice.

2. Topographic surveying in rural areas. Data processing and topographic plan production following regulatory requirements.
3. Topographic surveying in a populated area. Data processing, the search of communications in the area and application in the topographic plan, production of the topographic plan following regulatory requirements.
Report preparation. Defense

Part-time studies:

All topics specified for full-time studies are implemented.

Requirements for awarding credit points

The student receives a credit if all practical assignments have been completed; practice review prepared and practice defended.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

- Students complete the practice as a group, implementing the tasks following the program and prepare documents for the practice report;
- After preparing the practice report and submitting it to the supervisor, the practice group takes the final test.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

- The evaluation of the practice depends on the results of the practical skills test and the presentation of the results obtained during the practice and their evaluation.
- All tasks assigned to the practice must be completed.
