Based on computations performed by UF personnel and by others analyzing the IGEX data set, the data have been of acceptable quality. The University of Florida Geomatics Program consists of approximately 40 undergraduate and 25 graduate students. Students come to the program from many diverse backgrounds. Many come from the surveying practicing community while others have transferred into geomatics from other campus departments, such as geography, forestry, geology, computer science, or engineering. An increasing number of high school students are choosing studies in geographic information sciences.
Student activities give further learning opportunities.
Our student chapter carries on the learning process through community service projects, trips to state and national meetings, social events, regular meetings, and invited speakers. Students develop managerial and leadership abilities through these activities. Accordingly, we are interested in any developments in the technology that can increase the accuracy of GPS measurements while simultaneously reducing the time and cost needed to procure those measurements. The time from the placement of the order to receipt of the system was approximately two months. The obstruction at approximately 100 azimuth is an antenna structure at about 73 meters from site GATR which, due to its tenuous nature, most likely has little, if any, effect on satellite signals.
