Course abstract

MicroStation
Students aina n in-depth look at one of the leading drafting programs used in the industry. Students learn drawing and design of specific surveying documents.


Basics of programming
The purpose of the study course is to acquire skills in creating simple programs using the Python programming language. Students learn the basic elements of the language - data types, variables, conditional statements and cycles

Learning outcomes and their assessment

MicroStation
1. Knows the specific drawing palettes of the MicroStation program. Knowledge is assessed during the development of laboratory work.
2. Can, using the specific drawing palettes, draw the graphic part of the land development project, land cadastral survey plans. Skills can be assessed during tests and laboratory work.
3. Able to constantly solve tasks and, when faced with problems, solve them independently. Competences can be assessed in the performance of independent works and control works.

Basics of programming
Knowledge - knows the basic principles of programming in Python (defense of practical works);
Skills – know how to create program code and debugs programs, test work);
Competencies - to create program code and make its debugs for performing simple data processing tasks (defense of practical works, test work).

Course Content(Calendar)

Full-time studies:
MicroStation
1. The palette of the land cadastral survey of the MicroStation computer program and the options it offers. (lecture – 2h, laboratory work – 2h)
2. The MicroStation land facility design palette and the options it offers. (lecture – 2h, laboratory work – 2h)
3. Preparation of the graphic part of the land development project (laboratory work – 4h)
4. Application of the land cadastral survey palette when preparing a land boundary plan (laboratory work – 2h)
5. Application of the land cadastral survey palette, preparing a situation plan (laboratory work – 3h)
6. Application of the land cadastral survey palette when preparing the encumbrance plan (laboratory work – 3h)
7. Application of the land cadastral survey palette, preparing the specially prepared border file (laboratory work – 2h)

Basics of programming
1. Program elements and data types (Lecture – 1 h).
2. Operators and implementation of mathematical functions (Lecture – 1 h, practical work – 2 h)
3. Conditional statements (Lecture – 1 h, practical work – 2 h)
4. Cycle instructions (Lecture – 1 h, practical work – 2 h)
Part-time studies:
All topics specified for full-time studies are implemented, but the number of contact hours is 1/2 of the specified number of hours

Requirements for awarding credit points

Each part ended with a passing (fail) grade, the final result - a passing grade must be obtained in both parts.
MicroStation
All laboratory works must be completed and independent works and a passed test must be passed.

Basics of programming
Must have passed practical work and successfully completed test work.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

MicroStation
Development and design of the land development project of a freely chosen land unit or development and design of a land boundary plan, situation plan, encumbrance plan of a freely chosen land unit.

Basics of programming
Completion of tasks started during practical lessons until the next lesson. Preparation for test work.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

MicroStation
The test is formed as a cumulative assessment from the average assessment of independent work (70%), the average assessment of laboratory work (20%), the assessment of the test work (10%). At least 70% must be obtained.

Programming Basics

The test is a cumulative assessment from two parts – practical work (50%), assessment of the test work (50%). At least 60% must be obtained for both parts together.
