Geodesy
7.5 ECTS creditsInstruction is in the form of lectures, computation exercises, laboratory work, and surveying exercises.
The course covers level measuring with regard to height systems, familiarity with instruments, alignment, adjustment, and measuring methods. In the section on plane measurement, the course also addresses angular measurement and longimetry with total station.
Through practical exercises, the students learn to use relevant instruments, alignment, and mass measurement. Measurement uncertainty is treated. The course also covers coordinate systems, the construction of control point networks, control point surveying, detail surveying, and computation methods.
The course also covers dimension measurement with control point surveying on construction sites and horizontal and vertical staking. Students learn to choose appropriate methods of measurement and computation, and the course also covers registration, analysis, and marking of collected data.
