Geodetic Surveying

Course Aims
The aim of this course is to provide students with the ability to understand astronomic coordinates and their relation to geodetic coordinates. Also, the understanding of different map projection techniques is one of the aims of this course. By the end of this course, the student will be able to understand the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) as well as their applications in civil engineering projects.
Course Goals
Quality Education
Sustainable Cities and Communities
