-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Additional information is indexed under Guided Independent Research and Study.
-
2.00 Credits
This course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to create maps and plats. Topics of study include basic drafting principles, drawing set-up and scale, drawing commands, and orthographic projections. Co-requisite: GEM L110.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides each student an introduction to measurement theory, instrumentation, measurement systems, measurement computations, data accuracy and precision. The structure of the field of geomatics is explored. Major components of the course are survey statistics, traverse computations, coordinate systems and datums, elevations, and mapping. The use of computer-aided drawing software to produce maps and plats is required. Prerequisites: MTH 1125, PHY 2252/L252.
-
3.00 Credits
The geomatics student is introduced to the basic principles of land tenure and the cadastre. The major component of the course is the study and application of survey statute and related case law. The concepts underlying the hierarchy of evidence, sequential versus simultaneous conveyances, adverse possession, riparian rights, land descriptions, and the U.S. Public Land Survey System are explored. Prerequisite: GEM 2220 or approval of the Geomatics Program Coordinator. Co-requisite: GEM L309.
-
3.00 Credits
The issues of boundary location and retracement are central to this course. Focuses on Alabama survey history, the practice of surveying in Alabama, professional ethics, and the Standards of Practice for Surveying in Alabama. Prerequisite: GEM 3309.
-
3.00 Credits
Survey equipment calibration, survey astronomy, topographic mapping, control leveling, instrumentation error, and the propagation of error through survey calculations. This course is the second course of a one-year study of survey fundamentals. Prerequisite: GEM 2220, MTH 2210.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to metrical photogrammetry, interpretative photogrammetry, and remote sensing. Focuses on the theory, instrumentation, and practical application of photogrammetry to the problem of mapping the earth’s surface. Remote sensing concepts, principles, sensors, and specific satellite platforms are covered in the course. Prerequisite: MTH 1115. Co-requisite: GEM L366.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the underlying theory necessary to understand the use of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Focuses on mathematical models of the earth, the earth’s gravity field, and the use of nearearth satellites to measure the earth’s surface. Important concepts developed in this course include coordinate systems, datums, map projections, coordinate transformations, and GPS network design. Prerequisites: MTH 1126, GEM 3379/L379, PHY 2253/L253
-
3.00 Credits
The application of the principles of least squares adjustment to compute optimized solutions to problems involving redundant data and the theory of error propagation. Prerequisites: MTH 1126, 2210
-
3.00 Credits
This course is the first course in a one-year study of the fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Topics of study are digital mapping, data capture, data conversion, data structures, and spatial data concepts. Prerequisite: MTH 1112 or
equivalent and IS 2241, or consent of instructor.
