Surveying

Basic knowledge of trigonometry

In the theoretical-practical lessons the lecture method is used. In practices lessons is used methodology by objective, group learning. Problem solving in groups and individually. Students should perform a practical work in groups, where applicable acquired content. In Tutorial class one follows a methodology based on skills and group learning, guiding the implementation of practical work. The students’ evaluation will be done by: Realization of final exam, the exam will be quoted for 20 values Individual exercises, Ei. Practical work group, TG The final mark is NF = 70% Exam + 25% TG+ 5% Ei

Knowing the theoretical and practical concepts of cartography and topography. Know and use instruments to perform topographic surveys and implementation of points on the ground.
