Continued Education

Continued education is intended for professionals who are working in the field of geodesy or geoinformatics and who wish to update their knowledge, e.g. on new surveying technologies or instruments. Additional education is also useful for scientists and engineers working in other fields than surveying and mapping who need knowledge on specific topics.

The division of geodesy offers introduction courses and workshops within different areas. The introduction courses take 3 - 6 hours and give an overview about a specific topic. They can be recommended for decision makers within private or public companies. Currently we offer the following introduction courses:

  • Surveying and navigation with GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems)
  • Airborne and terrestrial laser scanning

The goal of these courses is to give the participants the answers to questions like: How does it work? What equipment is necessary? What is the accuracy? What are the applications?

The workshops give the participants more detailed knowledge about the subject, which is necessary to perform, check or order a project. We offer workshops in the following areas:

Total station check and free stationing (will be given in September 2010)

  • Introduction of technology for evaluation and verification of the accuracy of total station measurements
  • Free stationing using inner reference technology
  • Practical measurements and computation

Manufacturing Excellence Control (will be given in September 2010)

  • Practical and theoretical introduction to flatness, straightness and roundness
  • Determination of surface irregularities from scanned data using inner reference technology
