Area: | Department of Spatial Sciences |
Credits: | 25.0 |
Contact Hours: | 150.0 |
Lecture: | 4 x 2 Hours Yearly |
Fieldwork: | 2 x 2 Weeks Yearly |
Prerequisite(s): | 10464 (v.2) Physical Geodesy 481
|
Other Requisite(s): | First Aid Certificate: Students undertaking this unit are required to have completed an Approved First Aid Course prior to enrolment.
|
Syllabus: | A field camp under as realistic as possible conditions, involving teamwork and organisational skills development in order to complete three-dimensional geodetic surveys to a prescribed precision, and a hypothetical rural subdivision according to Western Australian legislation. The field surveys include, but are not limited to - reconnaissance, triangulation, triliteration, traversing, GPS, EDM, astronomical observations, spirit leveling, datum transformations, map projections, and least squares network adjustment and analysis. Auxiliary yet important activities include, but are not limited to - equipment calibration, project cost estimation, logistical planning, and professional report presentation to 'clients' in a production-type environment. Comprises of lectures of two hours, twice per semester and two weeks per semester. |
| |
Unit Outcomes: | On successful completion of this unit, students will have - Undertaken equipment calibration and operation, survery execution to meet requirements, data analysis, computation and adjustment, professional report presentation and project costing. |
