Description

Projects will involve small groups of students working as a team to complete the execution of specially designed multi-faceted selected tasks in Surveying and Spatial Information Systems. Topics may be the remote sensing analysis of the environment from satellite images, a digital photogrammetric mapping task, setting up a precise geodetic control network, the use of precise GPS techniques to map the local road network and insert this data into a GIS system, a precise engineering survey or the development and analysis of a geospatial database of a region. Students will be required to present the results of their project in a well written report and verbally at the annual thesis conference (Week 15, Session2).
