1. Course Objective
To strengthen the knowledge in surveying engineering, the course focuses itself on the theories of adjustment computation, map projection, Photogrammetry, and Remote Sensing, and, as a consequence, on the applications of these tools for the purposes of geo-spatial information collection and analysis.
2. Course content: (With three major topics)
Topic in Adjustment, Map projection, and Route Surveying
Part A Adjustment Computations
Part B Map Projections
Part C Route Surveying

Topic in Photogrammetry
Part A Introduction of Photogrammetry
Part B Mathematic Concepts in Photogrammetry
Part C Photogrammetric Instruments
Part D Digital Photogrammetry and Photogrammetric Automation

Topic in Remote Sensing and Image Processing
Part A The Concepts of Remote Sensing
Part B Characteristics of Remote Sensing Image Data
Part C Image Interpretation and Analysis
Part D Image Processing
Part E Image Classification
Part F Applications of Remote Sensing
