Introduction to Surveying, GIS, & Remote Sensing

This course focuses on introductory principles, theories, and techniques because I related to surveying. It incorporates reviews of spatial projections used in mapping, methods of data collection, and data collection sources. It begins with a historical review unlock of mapping and surveying and moves into present technologies utilized in the profession. The course then focuses on practical applications with hand maps. The course completes with development of a spatial database for use in a geographic information system.

Novice Surveying & Cartography

This course builds upon the introductory surveying course with novice materials. It extends to include theory and application of autonomous and remotely operated vehicles for data collection. It then focuses on systems for remote sensing data collection. It incorporates basic coding principles and spatial analysis related to python. Finally the course moves into underwater survey applications which can parallel astronautic applications. 

Intermediate Surveying & Cartography

This course builds upon the novice surveying course with intermediate skills. It develops into discussion on state-of-the-art systems for remote sensing data collection. It then moves into deployment of autonomous and remotely operated vehicles for data collection on land or underwater. The course concludes with development of 3D maps produced with geographic information systems for intermediate spatial analysis tasks. 

Introduction to Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) Printing

This course builds on fused filament fabrication (FFF) course focusing on history, theories, techniques, and technologies. It highlights specific applications and troubleshooting with state-of-the-art systems for FFF. It requires students to program, develop, and maintain an FFF printer and produce an object from scratch. The course concludes with development of a 3D FFF product through in personally or remotely.
