GEOMATICS

The course provides the knowledge necessary for the territory surveying and for the management of the acquired information. It also provides the knowledge necessary for the interpretation of the cartographic information related to the geodetic datum and the scale ratio of the representation..

Teaching is provided through lectures and practical exercises with the use of topographic software and tools.
