Trigonometric leveling (P6)
BLOCK III. GNSS POSITIONING METHODS (Unit 10)
Unit 10. GNSS Positioning methods.
Introduction. Positioning. Signal propagation. Components of the GPS system. Measurement system. Uncertainty. Positioning methods. Planning. Reference systems.
Theory classes will be carried out by participatory lectures, using blackboard and powerpoint presentations.
Practical classes will be carried out by groups of 20 people, as usual in the Cartographic and Geodesic Engineering and Photogrammetry domain.
Students will develop their practicals along three stages: field work, practical supervision in tutorial classes, and assessment by and interview with the instructor
Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support
The assessment of the course will be carried out by an exam in the official dates. This exam is composed by two parts: test of theory (multi-choice questions) 40% and practical exercises 60%. The qualification obtained in this exam will account for 60% of the final mark.
Practicals will be assessed by continuous assessment by the lecturer/instructor. Every group of 20 students will be divided in 5 teams of 4 students. Every team will develop some field works and will perform the calculations of the different practicals. The qualification obtained in the practicals will account for 40% of the final mark.
