  • SUR 4310: Survey Data Management

    5.00 Credits
    Metropolitan State University of Denver

    3 (2 + 2) Prerequisite: SUR 3100 and SUR 3700 with grades of "C" or better, or Permission of instructorThe topics covered in this course include data collection techniques, computations, data standards, and error depiction of survey data for Land Information Systems (LIS). Computer software is developed for the purpose of managing record survey data in networks utilizing least squares adjustments. The student will learn to identify the data that are required by these software systems and how to manage the collection, depiction, and reliability of the data base. Each student will prepare a term paper investigating an application for the use and management of land and survey data.

  • SUR 4320: Geodetic Survey Methods

    5.00 Credits
    Metropolitan State University of Denver

    4 (2 + 4) Prerequisite: SUR 2530 and SUR 3700 with grades of "C" or better, or Permission of instructorThis course is designed to apply precise surveying field procedures to surveying problems encountered in route surveying and geodesy. The students will employ precise surveying instrumentation and methods. The problems include surveys for geodetic, hydrographic, and mine surveys. Global positioning satellites, gyrotheodolites, and inertial positioning systems are introduced and discussed. Applications include municipal and regional geodetic networks supporting GIS/LIS, rapid transit systems, highways and streets, utility corridors, dam monitoring, and industrial applications. The student will integrate the planning, implementation, data reduction, analysis and publication of the results for the survey assignments.

  • SUR 4400: Management of Land and Survey Themes in a Cadastral Based GIS/LIS

    5.00 Credits
    Metropolitan State University of Denver

    3 (2 + 2) Prerequisite: SUR 3310, SUR 4310, GIS 2250 and GIS 4850 with grades of "C" or better, or Permission of InstructorThis course is designed to be a "capstone" experience for the surveying student who has elected GIS/LIS as an area of emphasis. It is intended to give the advanced surveying student hands-on experience in dealing with real world GIS/LIS data sets. Emphasis will be on the acquisition and use of a variety of spatial data sets and the application of surveying techniques to quantify and, when appropriate, to improve a variety of spatial data that are available in different coordinate systems and map projections and the techniques the practicing surveyor will need to know in order to appropriately integrate these data.

    Metropolitan State University of Denver

    3 (3 + 0) Prerequisite: Senior standing; SUR 3700 with a grade of "C" or better, or Permission of instructorThis is an in-depth course addressing the popular conformal map projections employed in surveying and mapping programs. The theories for the Lambert conformal conic, Mercator, transverse Mercator, oblique Mercator and stereographic, and Albers equal area projections are presented. Designing the projection system, transformation between plane coordinates and geodetic positions and the conversion of survey data to map projection data are emphasized. The use of local conformal map projections will be presented.
