The aim of this course to familiarize students with modern applications of Geodesy in the continuously evolving field of Civil Engineering, especially in applications related to the geometric design, construction, management, security and sustainability of major and special engineering projects, constructed on the ground, underground, above the ground or offshore. Such projects require geodetic instrumentation of various types, of conventional geodesy (electronic instruments, especially, robotic theodolites, laser scanners, etc.) and of satellite Geodesy, mostly GPS. A key point is the design and realization of projects under specific accuracy requirements and minimization of cost and duration.
