After successful completion of the course, students are able to describe and apply instruments and methods of height determination, to reproduce the essential procedures of electro-optical distance measurement and to understand and calculate the basic types of polygons. Furthermore, they will be able to name the essential components of an electronic total station, describe how they work and recognize possible effects on measurement results.

The lecture is given in German. Please see the German description for details.
