Full-time form

To successfully complete the fieldwork program and acquire the necessary skills, students must have a basic understanding of geodesy, topography, physics, and mathematics, as well as an understanding of the principles, methods, and techniques used in geodetic work.

The topographic and geodetic fieldwork course is the culminating stage of the first year of study in the courses “Geodesy” and “Fundamentals of Topography” and constitutes an integral part of the educational and professional training of bachelor’s degree candidates. It is designed to reinforce theoretical knowledge and is aimed at developing practical skills in applying methods for establishing a geodetic control network for large-scale topographic surveying under conditions similar to those encountered in the field. During the practicum, students are expected to gain a comprehensive understanding of the organization of geodetic work in the field and typical workflows for carrying it out, as well as to master the techniques and methods for conducting basic field measurements and office processing of the results.

− field surveying work during the development of survey networks; − office-based mathematical processing of field measurement results; − topographic (tacheometric) surveying; − preparation of the original topographic map of the area at scales of 1:500–1:1000.

Throughout the internship, daily monitoring of the completion of practical tasks is conducted. This daily monitoring takes into account the student’s level of participation in the relevant technological process and the amount of work completed during the day. For each day of the internship, a student can earn a maximum of 3 points. After the team completes each individual technological process, a stage-by-stage assessment (quiz) is conducted. Grading is based on a scale of 0–3 points per stage. The final assessment consists of: evaluation of the written report, a team presentation of the report, and individual responses to questions. Each component is graded on a scale of 0–5 points; the maximum score for the final assessment is 15 points. The individual assignment is graded on a scale of 0–10 points. The results of the topographic and geodetic fieldwork are summarized after students pass the fieldwork exam administered by the fieldwork supervisor.
