Surveying with GPS

Product Details

This presentation is as complete a description of surveying with GPS as one can produce in the time limits of a one-day seminar. GIS receivers will be discussed briefly, but not GIS processing. The technology of state High Accuracy Reference Networks (HARNs) and Continuous Operating Reference Stations (CORS) will be described. The method of establishing 'GPS Derived Orthometric Heights' will be covered in detail. A description of the Russian GLONASS system and the new European GALILEO system will conclude the seminar.

This course should be of interest to those who practice surveying but also those who work in the civil engineering field, including county engineers, public works officials, transportation engineers, DOT personnel, federal employees, contractors and consultants.

Format - DVD-R with supporting print materials
Length: 5 hours (0.6 CEUs or 6 PDHs or 6 CPCs)

This course is designed to help you gain additional knowledge and satisfy state requirements for continuing education for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. We ascertained what your profession wanted, picked excellent instructors and developed and produced the courses.

These courses can be taken at home or work. Upon successful completion we award certificates from the Auburn University College of Engineering.

State Board Recognition of Auburn University CEUs

Some states require that course sponsors/providers get approval, some require individual course approval, and almost all recognize ABET-accredited institutions and CEUs. Most states accept correspondence courses and allow CEUs to be converted to PDHs (or other measure of contact hours). A few states place the responsibility for individual course approval solely on the licensee. And because Continuing Education for PEs and LSs is relatively new and expanding, the states that require CE and their requirements change fairly frequently. If you are licensed in multiple states, you understand the situation. Since we deliver courses nationwide, it is impossible to detail every state's requirements in this catalog and how our courses may meet them. At catalog printing, we feel Auburn University and/or its courses meet CE requirements in almost all the states that require continuing education.

You should contact your state's licensing board about their rules if you are not familiar with them, and for specific course appropriateness for your license and situation. (Before you contact your state board, please read the next section and have this catalog handy.) We work hard to comply with each state's rules, but in every state the responsibility for meeting continuing education requirements rests with you, the licensee.
