Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The goal of this class is to understand measurement, learn about surveying techniques, learn how to adjust measurement results, practice various surveying methods using surveying instruments and acquire practical surveying skills.

The evaluation items are as follows:
1. To be able to understand measurement methods and their characteristics.
2. To be able to appropriately apply optimization methods necessary for error analysis.
3. To be able to consider the causes of errors based on the theory of measurement errors and to be able to formulate improvement plans.
4. To be able to understand the purpose and outline of major surveying tasks and to be able to select the appropriate location and method for the task.
5. To be able to understand the principles and construction of the main surveying instruments and be able to correctly set up, sight, and measure to obtain information with the required accuracy.
6. To be able to evaluate accuracy by calculating the most probable value and standard error from observed values and to be able to consider measures for improvement.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
The PPTs used in class will be made available on Moodle, so please use them for review after class.
Before the practical training, students should thoroughly review the contents of the previous training sessions.
When performing various types of surveying, students should fully understand the principles of measurement and consider the follows:
(1) How to set up the appropriate surveying instruments quickly and efficiently.
(2) How to perform accurate and efficient surveying. 
Requirements In case of unavoidable absence due to unforeseen accidents, etc., be sure to contact the instructor for instructions. 
Grading Method Grades will be based on a mid-term examination, a written report, and a practical examination, and will be graded on a 100-point scale.

Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it  
Message This course is required to qualify as an assistant surveyor and to sit for the professional surveyor examination. 
Other   
Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes.
Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching.
