1. Geomatics, Faculty of Engineering (v4, p118) : Next:451-102 | Prev:451-100
Note: Credit cannot be gained for both 451-101 and either 451-121 or 451-122
Credit points: 14.2
Coordinator: Mr. C. L. Ogleby
Prerequisite: 451-100 Geomatics Science 1F
Contact: 39 hours of lectures and 39 hours of tutorial and practice classes
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this subject the student should:
- be competent in the theory and practice of calculations required for plane surveys and setting out
- be familiar with, and capable of using, the computer packages for survey data reduction and plotting
- be aware of the full range of disciplines within the science of geomatics
Content:
Plane Surveying: area and volume computations, curve setting out for route surveying, automated "field-to-finish" surveys, topographic surveys, use of computer packages for survey data reduction and plotting. Introduction to GPS.Professional Aspects: Introduction to the geomatics profession and the different disciplines such as geodesy, cadastral surveying, engineering surveying, hydrography, mining surveying, land development, remote sensing, land and geographic information systems and photogrammetry.
Assessment:
Not more than three-hours of written examinations and tests and not more than the equivalent of 100 pages of written assignments and reports on practical work. The relative weighting of the assessment components will be published at the commencement of the subject.
