Surveying and Geomatics Engineering: Principles, Technologies, and Applications (Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice 152) (The ASCE Manual and Reports on Engineering Practice, 152)

Sponsored by the Surveying Committee of the Surveying and Geomatics Division of the Utility Engineering and Surveying Institute of ASCE and the National Geodetic Survey of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Surveying and Geomatics Engineering: Principles, Technologies, and Applications, MOP 152, is a comprehensive yet general overview to help support education and inform practicing engineers on the important role of the surveying engineer. It provides a much-needed update on the modern practice of surveying and geomatics engineering.

Topics include

• Geodesy,
• Coordinate systems and transformations,
• Least squares adjustments and error propagation,
• Modern surveying and remote sensing technology,
• Analysis and establishment of control,
• Geographic and building information systems,
• Construction surveying, and
• Best practices.

MOP 152 can be used as a summary and a reference for practicing engineers, surveying and otherwise, to help provide a solid understanding of the state of the surveying and geomatics engineering field.
