Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
The general aim of the course is to give an understanding of the methods and processes for geodetic measurement. This understanding implies that after the course the student should be able to:
- choose an appropriate method and instrument for a given task
- control and adjust measuring instruments
- plan, carry out and lead surveying project
- calculate coordinates, areas, volumes and draw map based on geodetic measurements
- evaluate the quality of various types of measurements (distance, angles, height differences) and the quality of the quantities that have been calculated from the measurements (coordinates, areas, volumes, etc.)
The students will also train and improve their general computer knowledge and skills in carrying out numerical calculations.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
Basic knowledge in Geodetic Surveying corresponding to the content in AG1314 GIS and Surveying
Recommended prerequisites
Equipment
Literature
Lantmäteriet m.fl.: Geodetisk och fotogrammetrisk mätnings-och beräkningsteknik
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- LAB1 - Laboratory work, 2.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
- PRO1 - Project work, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TEN1 - Examination, 2.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade
- written examination, TEN1, 2.0 credits, AF
- approved laboratory reports, LAB1, 2.5 credits, PF
- approved project report, PRO1, 1.5 credits, PF
- attendance on practical surveying exercises
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
