Course description:

Adopting theoretical and practical knowledge and skills about geodetic instruments and geodetic measurement methods. The application of acquired knowledge and skills to testing the correctness of geodetic instruments and use in geodetic project assignments. Learning outcomes at the level of the programme to which the course contributes <ul><li>Understand the role of geodesy, geoinformatics and spatial data in modern world, demonstrate competences in measuring systems, methods and technologies of measurement and spatial data collection. <li>Demonstrate competences in theoretical principles, procedures of computing and visualising the surveying data. <li>Handle geodetic instruments and appropriate measuring equipment properly, and perform geodetic measurements. <li>Solve practical tasks in surveying, spatial data collection, real estate evaluation and management. <li>Determine and interpret the size, properties and relations of objects in space on the basis of measured data, spatial databases, plans and maps. <li>Keep pace with and adopt new technological achievements in the field of surveying, geoinformation systems and services based on the position, and the changes in regulations, norms and standards.</ul> Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course <ul><li>Testing and user adjustment: alidade level, telescope level, circular level, optical plummet, laser plummet. <li>Testing on the optical collimator: collimation error, error of horizontal axis, error vertical axis, error of vertical collimation, micrometer device of theodolite. <li>Testing: compensator of optical/digital level, micrometer device of precise levels. <li>Testing of the main conditions level. <li>Stake out the horizontal, vertical and slope plane with rotating laser level. <li>Testing the errors in the measurement of the distances of phase and impulse mode. <li>Testing on the optical collimator dual axis compensator of geodetic stations. <li>Testing the meteorological influences on the measurement of basic geodetic parameters. <li>Differentiate formats of digital records measurements in electronic geodetic instruments. <li>Carry out continuous flow of data from measurements with geodetic instruments to computer processing.</ul> Course content broken down in detail by weekly class schedule (syllabus) <ol><li>Alidade level.
