Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic principles of geodetic surveying, the instruments used, and methods for determining angles, directions, and distances. Particular attention is paid to the measurement of horizontal and vertical angles, the use of theodolites, the determination of magnetic and gyroscopic directions, and direct and indirect methods of distance measurement, including electro-optical distance measurement. The course also covers the basic assessment of the accuracy and correctness of measurements, sources of errors, and the processing of measured quantities.
