Course abstract

In the study course students practically acquire the theory and practice of geodesy application in solving various engineering tasks and topography. Learns to perform calculations and graphic works for the development of the road route project, to perform the technical substantiation of the developed work. Gains an understanding of the topographic survey of the area, the geodetic instruments required for the topographic survey, the calculation of measurements, and the preparation of topographic plans

Learning outcomes and their assessment

1. Knows geodetic and topographic methods and applied geodetic instruments in the feasibility study and organization of the survey process; (course project development)
2. Knows the principles and methods of representation of engineering structures and topography; (course project development)
3. Can perform mathematical processing of geodetic measurement results, evaluate their accuracy; (course project development)
4. Can develop a road route and object topographic survey project; (course project development)
5. Can find a favorable, technically justified, and by the road design conditions road location in the area, determine the dimensions of structures, calculate the volume of construction work. To develop and design a topographic survey plan of the object. (course project development and defense)

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

A course project must be developed and defended.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Research of special literature and normative acts on the importance of roads in the national economy, types of design, and activities.
Course project development.
The student develops course project by the term paper and methodological instructions issued by the lecturer submit and defends it within the terms agreed with the lecturer.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

An obligatory condition of the course project is its defense, in which the student presents in a short report (approx. 3-5 min.) The aim of the course work, tasks, introduces the current situation and the solutions and work results, visualizing the narration with graphic materials.
The assessment is determined by the explanation of the course paper, calculations, the content and design of the graphic part, as well as its defense.
