NAVSTAR Global Positioning System Surveying - Part 3
This online engineering PDH course examines the principles, adjustment methods, and contracting considerations associated with GPS surveying services.
This course focuses on GPS survey adjustment, including adjustment considerations, GPS error measurement statistics, survey accuracy, constrained adjustments, and rigorous least squares adjustment methods.
In addition, this course explores network adjustment criteria, baseline weights, covariance matrices, adjustment output statistics, residuals, outlier testing, positional accuracy statistics, and error ellipses.
This course covers the evaluation, reporting, and documentation of GPS survey adjustment results, along with contracting procedures, specifications, cost estimates, quality control, quality assurance, and task order considerations for GPS surveying services. It also emphasizes the professional use of adjustment results and contract requirements in GPS survey projects.
This 10 PDH online course is applicable to civil engineers, surveyors, as well as other technical professionals involved in GPS survey adjustment, quality control, documentation, and contracted surveying services.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding GPS survey adjustment concepts and accuracy considerations
- Applying general adjustment methods for GPS survey networks
- Recognizing error statistics, residuals, outliers, and positional accuracy indicators
- Understanding reporting, submittal, and metadata requirements for GPS survey results
- Recognizing contracting procedures, specifications, and quality control considerations for GPS surveying services
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “NAVSTAR Global Positioning System Surveying – Part 3”, which is based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Publication EM 1110-1-1003, Chapters 11 and 12 “NAVSTAR Global Positioning System Surveying”.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifty (50) questions to earn 10 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.) For your convenience, we will also email it to you. Please note that you can log in to your account at any time to access and print your Certificate of Completion.
