SURVEY FUNDAMENTALS

Geomatics students begin with the fundamentals of measurement science offered in GEM 2220 Basics of Cartography and Surveying and continue with GEM 3330 Advanced Measurement Analysis. Students learn how to make survey measurements and how to compute products desired by clients from these measurements. Class time is spent developing the concepts of what it means to be precise and what it means to be accurate as these concepts relate to measurement theory.
 
 
 
Students learn how the physical properties of the earth affect field measurements and the corrections for these effects. Students gain experience with modern instrumentation used for making field measurements, common sources of error in their usage, and the organized crew procedure and note keeping necessary for professional results.
