Synopsis
The course is intended to provide students with a core of basic industrial skills required for the practical applications of Surveying and Spatial Science in the workplace. Students will have the opportunity to select and complete four workshops that best reflect their needs for practical instruction. Techniques required in cadastral surveying, cadastral law and reinstatement, photogrammetry, post-processed GNSS and GNSS network exercises can be undertaken by students as individual modules. Students can also undertake exercises in essential business skills including project management and writing a business plan. This course contains a mandatory residential school for external students and mandatory on-campus laboratories or practical classes for on-campus students.
Objectives
The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. Depending on their selection, on completion of this course, students should be able to:
- complete surveying practical exercises to a standard of professional practice encompassing theoretical skills and practices taught in advanced cadastral surveying, photogrammetry and remote sensing and geodetic survey network;
- demonstrate professional skills, reporting and documentation in professional practice;
- communicate results and conclusions effectively as a team through a written report or presentation;
- undertake critical self-review and reflection against course objectives as a primary means of tracking personal development needs and achievements;
- perform appropriate work health and safety assessments.
