Prerequisite(s)

 

  • GEO1191 Land Surveying 1
  • GEO1201 Land Surveying 2

Expected learning outcomes

The aim of this Practical Land Surveying course is to learn how to use instrument and computing skills to carry out realistic land surveying tasks. Course theory is concerned with the mathematics and geometry of the Figure of the Earth, of coordinate systems and mapping projections. Practical work covers the methods of employing instrumental systems in accordance with land surveying quality standards and practices. The course is project based, and demands that students work closely together to design, plan and carry out their projects and subsequently document and present their results.

Topic(s)

 Mathematics and geometry:
 The lessons learned on the GEO1181 Basic Land Surveying course supplemented with the necessary mathematical and Earth geometry topics:
 - Basic relevant matrix algebra
 - Coordinate transformation
 - Introduction to survey adjustment by Least Squares
 - Datums, coordinate systems (Earthg centred, geodetic, plane and local)
 - Geometry of the Ellipsoid
 - The Geoid
 - Projections
 - Surveying methods:
 Topics here focus on the use of instruments and measurement systems to produce the required data using methods which satisfy published quality standards:
 - Establishing and operating a local GNSS reference;
 - RTK measurements
 - Trigonometric height measurement
