Educational outcome

Upon completion of this educational program, students are expected to be able to:

1. Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the current state and trends in the development of scientific knowledge in the field of geodesy, geodynamics and remote sensing.

2. Integrate knowledge of scientific theory of geodesic schools into research practice, critically assess the level of development of domestic geodesy, its potential and growth opportunities;

3. Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the current state and trends in the development of scientific knowledge in the field of geodesy, GIS technologies, regulatory documents in construction.

4. Use a methodology for evaluating the accuracy of measurements of lengths, angles, excesses, and functions to equalize the values of coordinates, azimuths, and line lengths.

5. Demonstrate the problems, tasks and stages of scientific research in geodesy, evaluate the results.

6. Demonstrate the theory of evaluating the accuracy of measurement results and functions for equalizing coordinate values;

7. Demonstrate methods for research on observations of deformation and precipitation of precision engineering structures, systematically present the natural and man-made risks of spatial systems, their environmental and socio-economic consequences for society.

8. To integrate knowledge and practical skills in the field of automated technologies of performance of geodetic works.

9. Perform time-coordinate linking of objects, phenomena, and processes on the Earth's surface, finding technological solutions for the creation of three-dimensional models of the geoid, quasigeoid and the reference ellipsoid.

10. Consider options for conducting geodetic control in the conditions of development of territories of megacities in built-up areas.

11. Describe the methodology of management of engineering and geodetic works in the field and office conditions.

12. Interpret and generalize current scientific knowledge in the field of geodesy in the context of the leading directions of geodesy.
