Objectives

The course is divided in 3 particles. The aim of the first particle is to
learn the principles of adjustments using the least square method and to be
able to calculate the accuracy to be expected using different methods of
surveying. The aim of the second particle is to gain an insight on the
gathering of data using aerial photographs and other teledetection methods.
The aim of the third particle is to learn the principles of surveying using
GPS and total stations.



Topics

Theory:
Analytical data processing: least squares method, standard deviation,
adjustment techniques, progression of errors
Introduction to teledetection, photogrammetry,...
Principles of GPS and the different methods for surveys using GPS
Exercises:
Several field surveys are done using total stations, GPS equipment and other
topographical instruments together with extensive reporting using the
theories explained above.

Exercises: permanent evaluation + evaluation based on reports

However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
