NAVSTAR Global Positioning System Surveying - Part 1
This online engineering CPD course examines the principles of satellite-based positioning, GPS system operation, and geodetic reference systems used in surveying and mapping applications.
This course focuses on the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS), including its operational theory, system configuration, satellite signals, and positioning techniques such as absolute and differential GPS methods.
In addition, this course explores coordinate systems, reference datums, and transformations, along with GPS survey planning, data acquisition, processing, and adjustment techniques used in engineering and mapping projects.
So, this course covers the theoretical foundations and practical implementation of GPS surveying, including accuracy standards, observation methods, control surveys, and data analysis procedures for engineering and geospatial applications.
This 10 CPD online course is applicable to civil engineers, surveyors, as well as other technical professionals involved in positioning, mapping, and spatial data analysis.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the principles and operational theory of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System
- Understanding GPS positioning methods, including absolute and differential techniques
- Recognizing the role of coordinate systems, datums, and reference frames in GPS surveying
- Understanding GPS survey planning, data collection, and processing procedures
- Applying general GPS concepts in surveying, mapping, engineering, and geospatial applications
