It is expected that students who complete this Module will have an understanding of the basic Geodetic frameworks used to control Mapping and Charting. A reasonable level of mathematical knowledge is expected and this standard is to be tested in direct solutions for solving routine geodetic problems. The Exercises are designed to test proper understanding of the Module content and ensure that the student is competent to fulfil these tasks in a real working environment armed only with a scientific calculator.
Lecture notes comprise 7000 words, 40 pages, 12 illustrations, worked examples and student assignments. Lecture delivery time is one day with an accompanying Power Point Presentation.
Subjects covered are :
It is expected that on completion of this module that the student will have a working knowledge of the Law of the Sea, polarised on the Articles of UNCLOS III and the interpretation of the Convention in order to construct simple baselines and evaluate the territorial claims of a maritime state.
Lecture notes comprise 12,000 words, 40 pages, 7 illustrations, and a role-play student exercise. Lecture delivery time is one day with an accompanying Power Point Presentation.
Subjects covered are :
The objective of this Module is to give students a working knowledge of the Maritime aspects of the Offshore industry. Subjects covered include aspects of Health and Safety and other marine operations that they can expect to experience peripheral to their own survey tasks. It is hoped that the course notes will provide a reference for students when commencing their activities at sea.
Lecture notes comprise 6,000 words, 35 pages and 20 illustrations. Lecture delivery time is one day with an accompanying Power Point Presentation.
Subjects covered are :
This module serves as a basic introduction to what is a complex and very specialist subject. The student will be made aware of basic Seismic refraction techniques, and common survey methodologies. A Timeshare role-play is used to illustrate the operational problems encountered offshore.
Lecture notes comprise 3,000 words, 21 pages and 6 illustrations. Lecture delivery time is one day with an accompanying Power Point Presentation.
Subjects covered are :
This Module covers the principle mathematics used in surveying and outlines the basic techniques for observing and recording data. The module is designed to mix the theory sessions in the classroom with practical exercises, the results of which are used to illustrate solutions and estimate propagation of errors. To accompany this Module a variety of survey instruments need to be sourced and an exercise area provided.
Lecture notes comprise 10,000 words, 58 pages and 17 illustrations. Lecture delivery time is three days with an accompanying Power Point Presentation.
