Course abstract
The subject "Surveying I" gives the students theoretical knowledge of the shape and size of the Earth, the methods of horizontal surveying, the orientation of lines, the instruments used, the coordinate systems used in surveying, global positioning methods. Practical knowledge of the instruments used in the horizontal surveying, horizontal angle measuring, the use of the distance measurement instruments, the calculation of measurements.
