Learning Information
1 – Aims
The objectives of this tutorial are:
- To contextualize the student in geotechnical knowledge.
- To show usable tools at different levels of budget and experience.
- To show different methods of obtaining coordinates.
- To introduce of different geolocation and georeferencing systems.
2 – Learning methodology
- The teacher will provide an explanation of the material with practical examples.
- To assess practical teaching achievements, each student will write short descriptions and answer the questions provided.
3 – Tutorial duration
The duration of the tutorial will depend on whether only the reading and synthesis of the material itself is carried out or if, on the contrary, data collection is carried out with some of the tools or methodologies explained, so it could vary between 1h-4h.
4 – Necessary teaching resources
This document allows acquiring the necessary knowledge. Named tools available for data collection:
- RTK.
- Dron.
- Total station.
- Laser distance meter.
- Metro.
- Note blog to record results if necessary.

7 – Deliverables
The student will have to take a multi-choice test with 3 options, where only 1 is correct.
8 – What we have learned
The student has learnt basic knowledge about coordinates, the type of coordinates used in modern georeferencing, as well as learning about the different tools with price/result variation that can be used to carry it out and to be able to provide the 3D model with geometric and typological realism.
