| Abstract | Introduction to Engineering Geodesy: methods, instruments, and applications. | ||||
| Learning objective | The students will be introduced to the methods, instruments and applications in Engineering Geodesy with a focus on end-to-end quality assessment, sensor and multi-sensor-systems, setting out, and monitoring of engineering objects. They will be able to acquire enhanced knowledge and fundamental competences in high-precision angle, distance and height measurements. They will be introduced to aspects of interdisciplinary work in particular related to construction processes and civil engineering. | ||||
| Content | - Introduction: Definition, methods, and tasks - Planning and realizing geodetic networks - High precision distance, angle and height measurements - Sensors and multi-sensor-systems - Calibration and testing - Engineering Geodesy in construction above and below ground - Tunnel surveying - Building Information Modeling (BIM) - Deformation monitoring: Models, methods, and applications | ||||
| Lecture notes | The slides and additional documents will be provided in electronic form. | ||||
