| Overall Educational Objective | To learn the spatial concepts that are important in the planning, construction, and operation of civil engineering projects and activities, the concepts and principles of location and layout of points on the surface of the three-dimensional earth, to solve the problem of converting the curved surface of the earth onto a plane map or computer screen, modern measurement and positioning systems such as GPS and GNSS, the basics and types of GIS. | ||||||
| Course Description | This course provides general concepts on geomatics by covering the following topics: Surveying concept and measurements errors, surveying instruments, distance and direction measurement and fundamental computation methods, height determination methods and sections, GPS concept and surveying techniques, concept and usage areas of GIS, GIS Data types and data acquisition, spatial analysis with GIS, spatial data visualization, map projections and datum in GIS, web GIS, mobile GIS, cloud GIS. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) discuss and explain the concept of surveying, sources and types of errors in surveying; 2) calculate errors and solve fundamental calculations in surveying; 3) recognize the use of 3D locations in civil engineering; 4) describe the concept of GPS and organize the use of GPS in various applications; 5) define the concept, components and data types of GIS; 6) demonstrate fundamental skills and knowledge on spatial data production; 7) develop maps with spatial analyses by using GIS. |
