SRVY 247 - Survey-Grade GPS Control Analysis

3 credits (Hrs: 3 Lec.)

This course is designed to teach you how GPS can be used as a tool for practical engineering design. You will use GPS measurements to establish project control, collect mapping data, and stakeout design features. You will also learn geodesy basics and its effect on terrestrial measurements. Course topics will include astronomy, equipment calibration, datums, geographic and plane coordinate systems, online geodetic resources, industry-standard equipment and software, and differential GPS data collection methods including static networks and real-time kinematic.
