This module is an intensive and practical study of the technical, analytical, and professional aspects of modern surveying.

This first-term module provides students with a solid foundation in the understanding and use of modern positioning equipment such as Total Station, Automatic Level, Laser Scanner and Satellite Receivers. Students will learn how to design and simulate robust control networks using least squares adjustment.

The course covers data management and error analysis, and aids as a practical complement to the mathematics covered in CEGE0044 Data Analysis.

Learning Outcomes

Fluency in the understanding and practical use of survey equipment
	Ability to accurately determine the location of points with respect to local or global coordinate systems
	Ability to understand and process spatial measurements, including an understanding of error management and data presentation
	Ability to design and execute a measurement project.

This module aims to provide students with knowledge and understanding of different environmental systems and how they interact with each other, as well as practical skills to monitor and assess environmental quality. This is an introductory course where students will learn the basics of environmental engineering sciences and the methods to analyse and manage environmental problems. In this course, we focus on five different environmental systems: air, energy, water, land and waste. Students will learn practical skills such as air quality assessment and visit environmental sites to learn how complex environmental problems are managed with a systems approach. Through guest lectures from academics and industry, students will also learn how theoretical knowledge can be applied in practice with case studies in particular environmental problems.
