AH2924 Engineering Surveying 7.5 credits

1. Surveying instruments (theodolites, levels, total stations): principles, testing and adjusting.
2. Methods of precise distance and angular measurements
3. Horizontal geodetic networks: design, observation and computation
4. Height determination: levelling, trigonometric and barometric methods
5. Precise setting-out and alignment methods and instruments
6. Mine surveying: connecting surveys and orientation with gyro theodolite.
7. Deformation measurements: methods and analysis

The aim of the course is to introduce the students to the fundamental tasks of engineering surveying.
The students will get basic theoretical and practical knowledge about different kind of surveying instruments and methods used in various engineering problems.

• A completed Bachelor of Science in Engineering or 180 credits academic studies in the field of Technical Science and documented proficiency in English corresponding to English B.

• Course Geodetic Surveying or equivalent

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LAB1 - Laboratory work, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Written examination (TEN1; 2.0 cr) (A, B, C, D, E, FX, F)

Project work (PROJ; 2.5 cr) (P/F)

Approved laboration (LAB1;  3.0p) (P/F)
