Grundleggjandi skeið í landmáting

23. oktober er tilmeldingarfreist til skeið í grundleggjandi landmáting á Fróðskaparsetri Føroya

Skeiðið verður fyriskipað av Deplinum fyri staðsetingarfrøði, og tað verður Gethin Wyn Roberts, professari í landmátingarverkfrøði, sum fer at undirvísa. Avtala er gjørd við Geoteam Danmark um lán av tólum til skeiðið.

Talan er um undirvísing frá 31. oktober til 3. november.

Hetta skeiðið er ikki ECTS-gevandi enn, men verður tað eftir ætlan næsta ár sum valfak hjá teimum, ið lesa verkfrøði á Náttúruvísindadeildini.

Skeiðið er í fýra dagar og fevnir um grundleggjandi ástøði og verkligar venjingar. Undirvísingin í ástøði verður á enskum,  meðan kjakini og verkligu venjingarnar verða á føroyskum og enskum máli.

Skeiðið kostar 4.500 krónur, og tá er miðmáli íroknaður.

Hava tit spurningar, sendið so teldupost til Irenu Áarberg á irenaa@us.fo

Umsóknarfreist er 23. oktober.

Geospatial Centre of the Faroe Islands; Short course on Basic Land Surveying

Dates, 31 October to 3 November 2022

The short course is aimed at people who are new to the surveying sector, as well as those with experience but no formal training.  The course will take place over a period of four days, comprising of basic theory as well as practical exercises using total stations and levelling instruments.  The theory will be given in English, whilst discussions and practical classes will be in both English and Faroese.

The course will be held at and in colloboration with Náttúruvísundadeildin, Fróðskaparsetur Føroya, at Sjóvinnuhúsið, Vestara Bryggja 15, 5. hædd in Tórshavn.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The course aims to:

Introduce students to the fundamentals of surveying as they are currently applied to engineering and land surveying

Give students some opportunities to practice the techniques learnt, and

Prepare students for practical surveying such as is included in the surveying profession and the construction industry.

By the end of the module students should:

Be familiar with common survey instruments and possess some technical skills, knowledge of basic error sources and limitations, and understand field observation techniques.  Understand provision of control by traversing, measurement of planimetric detail and height, and associated computational methods.  Understand site setting-out methods including site conventions, associated computations. Students will also have an understanding of health and safety requirements relevant to typical surveying.

Have a basic understanding of quantity and computation.
