The aim of the course:
The main objective of this course is to teach theory of the GPS in detail.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : perform point positioning with GPS since they learn the basic principles of point positioning in space.21,3,
PO - 2 : learn how to obtain GPS observations, and they will be able to use combination of GPS observations in data processing phase.21,3,
PO - 3 : learn error sources in GPS observations and they will be able to eliminate them during measurement data processing.21,3,
PO - 4 : calculate 3-D coordinates of control points using any GPS measurement methods.21,3,
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
