GENERAL OBJECTIVE
THE TEACHING AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH ADVANCED TRAINING IN THE FIELD OF GEOMATICS MONITORING, ENABLING THEM TO GAIN A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF THE THEORETICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES FUNDAMENTAL TO THE DESIGN, APPLICATION, AND INTERPRETATION OF INNOVATIVE MONITORING SYSTEMS. STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DELVE INTO MONITORING SYSTEMS BASED ON TERRESTRIAL TECHNIQUES, SUCH AS ROBOTIC TOTAL STATIONS, LASER SCANNERS, AND LEVELS, AS WELL AS SATELLITE SYSTEMS SUCH AS SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR (SAR), GNSS, AND REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (RPAS OR "DRONES"). IN ADDITION, THE COURSE AIMS TO DEVELOP STUDENTS' ABILITY TO CONDUCT MULTI-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS FOR MONITORING STRUCTURES/INFRASTRUCTURE, ENABLING THEM TO ADDRESS COMPLEX CHALLENGES IN LAND MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING SKILLS
THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE A SOUND THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION OF INNOVATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC INSTRUMENTATION, AS WELL AS SURVEYING TECHNIQUES AIMED AT MONITORING STRUCTURES/INFRASTRUCTURE. THE STUDENT WILL KNOW THE THEORIES AND METHODS FOR THE PROCESSING AND STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF MONITORING DATA, AS WELL AS THE METHODOLOGIES FOR THEIR ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION IN THE SPECIFIC CONTEXT AND WILL BE ABLE TO CRITICALLY EVALUATE DATA AND APPLY THE ACQUIRED THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE TO IDENTIFY EFFECTIVE AND INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO SELECT AND DESIGN THE MOST APPROPRIATE SURVEYING AND MONITORING SYSTEM BASED ON THE SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE REAL CASE, USING THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED ABOUT THE THEORETICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF GEOMATIC MONITORING. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO ACCURATELY PROCESS AND ANALYZE DATA ACQUIRED DURING MONITORING ACTIVITIES, APPLYING THE METHODOLOGIES AND TECHNIQUES LEARNED IN THE COURSE TO OBTAIN RELIABLE AND MEANINGFUL RESULTS, AND TO SOLVE PROBLEMS RELATED TO GEOMATIC MONITORING, DEMONSTRATING THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO ADDRESS REAL CHALLENGES IN THE FIELD OF LAND MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT.
AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO EVALUATE DIFFERENT SURVEYING TECHNIQUES AND THE MOST APPROPRIATE INSTRUMENTATION ACCORDING TO THE GEOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS AND TYPE OF THE WORK TO BE MONITORED, DEMONSTRATING A DEVELOPED CRITICAL SENSE AND ADVANCED DISCERNMENT SKILLS. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO AUTONOMOUSLY PERFORM THE PROCESSING, CALCULATION, AND ANALYSIS OF DATA ACQUIRED DURING MONITORING ACTIVITIES, EVALUATING THE ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY OF THE RESULTS OBTAINED AND MAKING INFORMED DECISIONS BASED ON AN EVALUATION OF THE DATA.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO PRESENT AND DISCUSS THE MOST SUITABLE SURVEYING TECHNIQUES FOR MONITORING A WORK, WITH REFERENCE TO THE DESIGN, INSTRUMENTATION, AND ANALYSIS OF MEASUREMENT DATA. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO WRITE A WRITTEN REPORT ON THE CHOSEN SURVEYING TECHNIQUE, DATA PROCESSING, AND ANALYSIS, AND PRESENT IT ORALLY.
LEARNING SKILLS
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE EFFECTIVE USE OF TRADITIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHIC TOOLS AND COMPUTER RESOURCES TO UPDATE HIS OR HER KNOWLEDGE AND TO INDEPENDENTLY INVESTIGATE IN DEPTH THE SURVEYING TECHNIQUES COVERED IN THE COURSE, FOLLOWING INSTRUMENTAL AND SOFTWARE EVOLUTION IN THE FIELD OF ADVANCED GEOMATIC MONITORING. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO CARRY OUT INDEPENDENT RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AND UNDERSTAND AND INTERPRET COMPLEX TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC TEXTS. THE STUDENT WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO TRANSFER THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED IN THE COURSE TO APPLY IT IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS IN SURVEYING AND MONITORING STRUCTURES AND INFRASTRUCTURE, CONSIDERING VARIATIONS IN TYPE AND SPATIAL CONTEXT.
Prerequisites
IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY ATTEND THE COURSE, THE STUDENT SHOULD POSSESS BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF GEODESY AND SURVEYING.

1 CFU/10H
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE IS ORGANIZED INTO THEORETICAL LECTURES, CLASSROOM EXERCISES AND PRACTICAL EXERCISES.
IN DETAIL: 3 CFU/30H LECTURES; 1 CFU/10H TUTORIALS;
2 CFU/20H LABORATORY.
THE AIM OF THE PRACTICAL EXERCISES IS TWOFOLD:
- TO FAMILIARIZE THE STUDENT WITH MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION;
- TO ENABLE THE STUDENT TO DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO ADAPT MONITORING TECHNIQUES TO REAL OPERATING CONDITIONS.
Verification of learning
THE EVALUATION OF CLASS AIMS ACHIEVEMENT IS DONE AT THE END OF THE COURSE BY MEANS OF AN ORAL TEST, LASTING ONE HOUR. THE EXAM AT THE END OF THE COURSE AIMS TO ASSESS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF LEARNING OBJECTIVES, IN PARTICULAR CONCERNING THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS:
- INSTRUMENTATION FOR GEOMATIC MONITORING
- GEOMATIC TERRESTRIAL AND SATELLITE MONITORING TECHNIQUES.
THE FINAL EXAM WILL CONSIST OF AN ORAL INTERVIEW.
- GEODETIC MONITORING NETWORKS
- MEASUREMENT TREATMENT
THE ORAL EXAM FOCUSES ON THE CHECK OF THE SUCCESSFUL LEARNING OF THEORETICAL AND APPLICATIVE ELEMENTS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, JUDGING IN PARTICULAR THE CONTENTS, THE ACCURACY OF THE ORAL PRESENTATION, THE VERBAL AND TECHNICAL EXPOSITION, THE ABILITY OF CORRELATING DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE PROGRAM. THE RESULTS OF BOTH THE EXAMS ARE GIVEN IN POINTS, WITH A MAXIMUM OF 30. THE FINAL RESULT IS AGAIN GIVEN IN POINTS WITH A MAXIMUM OF 30 AND INCLUDES THE RESULTS OF BOTH WRITTEN AND ORAL EXAM.
THE RESULT “CUM LAUDE” IS OBTAINED CONSIDERING:
-CLARITY OF EXPOSITION IN TERMS OF PROPER SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE,
-ABILITY TO CORRELATE DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE CLASS, AND, IF POSSIBLE, TOPICS INCLUDED IN OTHER DISCIPLINES,
-INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGEMENT.
Texts
LECTURE NOTES FROM THE COURSE TEACHER. THE EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL PRESENTED IN CLASS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE STUDENT IN ELECTRONIC FORMAT VIA INTERNET. USERNAME AND PASSWORD ARE RESERVED FOR STUDENTS ENROLLED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SALERNO.
