SUR 4320 Geodetic Survey Methods (4 credits)
Prerequisites: SUR 2530, SUR 2700 w/a grade "C" or better, or permission of instructor
Lab required.
This course is designed to apply precise surveying field procedures to surveying problems encountered in route surveying and geodesy. The students will employ precise Surveying Instrumentation and methods. The problems include surveys for geodetic, hydrographic and mine surveys. Global positioning satellites, gyrotheodolites and inertial positioning systems are introduced and discussed. Applications include municipal and regional geodetic networks supporting GIS/LIS, rapid transit systems, highways and streets, utility corridors, dam monitoring and industrial applications. The student will integrate the planning, implementation, data reduction, analysis and publication of the results for the survey assignments.
