The concepts of gravity and its use in surveying will also be covered. Computations with coordinates, transformations of coordinates and map projection systems will be studied. The student will gain an understanding of the applications of a GIS and insight into GIS analysis from both the vector and raster aspects. This is a two semester course. Automated Drafting Objective - This course is a continuation of material offered during term two in Survey Technician.
Students work with larger data sets, involving three dimensional coordinates.
This is a two semester course. I Objective - Prepare students to effectively communicate within a working environment. The Global Positioning System Objective - To continue the students training in astronomical techniques, using more precise instruments. To introduce the concepts of astronomical coordinate variation, time systems, star catalogues and an introduction to cosmology. Satellite surveying and its uses, with emphasis on the Global Positioning System will be covered.
