NAVSTAR Global Positioning System Surveying - Part 2
This online engineering PDH course examines the principles, field procedures, and post-processing methods associated with conducting GPS field surveys.
This course focuses on GPS field survey procedures, including absolute or autonomous GPS positioning, differential GPS code phase positioning, and differential GPS carrier phase surveying.
In addition, this course explores static, rapid static, kinematic, real-time kinematic, and real-time network GPS field techniques, along with related calibrations and quality considerations.
This course covers the execution and processing of GPS observational data, including differential reduction techniques, carrier phase observables, baseline solutions, loop closure checks, OPUS, and baseline data management. It also emphasizes the role of field procedures and post-processing in producing reliable GPS survey results.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to civil, surveying, geodetic, and GIS professionals, as well as other technical professionals involved in GPS field surveys, data processing, and geospatial control work.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding GPS field survey procedures and positioning techniques
- Applying general methods for conducting absolute, differential, and carrier phase GPS surveys
- Understanding static, kinematic, RTK, and RTN GPS field techniques
- Recognizing post-processing methods used for differential GPS observational data
- Applying general quality checks, baseline processing, and data management procedures
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “NAVSTAR Global Positioning System Surveying - Part 2”, which is based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Publication EM 1110-1-1003, Chapters 9 and 10 of “NAVSTAR Global Positioning System Surveying”.
