The aim of the course:
The main goals of this course are to give the idea of the positioning from space and theory and application of the GPS in detail.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : sound understanding about point positioning methods and coordinate systems in satellite2,61,3
LO - 2 : comprehend signal structures of GPS satellites, and learn the principles of code and phase2,61,3
LO - 3 : learn error sources in GPS measurements and they will be able to know how to eliminate these errors when encountered in GPS surveying projects.2,61,3
LO - 4 : learn different absolute and relative GPS point positioning methods (static, kinematic, stop and go, real time kinematic, etc), and they will be able to use GPS receivers to determine the coordinates of control points using above mentioned methods2,61,3
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), LO : Learning Outcome
