After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student:

• is capable of explaining the geodetic basis for specifying the height and coordinates of markers in the terrain, as well as the main principles of the theory of errors
• knows the principles behind GNSS, total stations and other surveying equipment
• knows the theory behind practical calculations in surveying
• is capable of explaining key concepts of set theory, probability theory, parameter estimation, hypothesis testing theory and choice of model
• is capable of explaining normal, binomial, Poisson and exponential probability distributions, as well as typical problems to which they can be applied

Skills

The student is capable of:

• calculating the heights and coordinates of markers in the terrain, and of calculating the area of plots and closed traverses
• calculating the area of plots of land
• using a total station and level telescope
• drawing cross- and longitudinal sections and carrying out mass calculations
• applying statistical principles and concepts from his/her own professional field
• carrying out basic probability calculations and parameter estimation
• setting up confidence intervals and testing hypotheses for normally and binomially distributed data
• carrying out simple correlation/regression analyses

General competence

The student:

• understands and is capable of using geographic information for planning, execution and control of building activities using digital equipment such as a total station and GPS, and of using relevant software to interpret the results. The student is capable of using manual calculations to check the results.
• uses statistical approaches to engineering problems and communicates them orally and in writing
• is capable of solving problems in engineering by using probability calculations, statistical planning of trials, data collection and analysis
