Courses

Basics of Geodesy (BAU, B.Sc.)

Module 3019 (compulsory module), 2nd + 3rd trimester, 6 TWS, 5 ECTS points

Module responsible: Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Otto Heunecke

Students of civil engineering and environmental sciences will get a comprehensive overview of the subject geodesy. They can carry out simple surveys in a team, assess surveying requirements and learn to interpret survey results. The students are competent discussion partners for surveyors in the planning of construction projects and their implementation. The practical relevance of the lecture contents is conveyed by means of measurement exercises. In the measurement groups - in addition to the technical aspects - self-management and organisational skills of the students are required and promoted.

 

Applications of Geodesy (BAU, B.Sc.)

Module 2910 (optional module), 7th trimester, 4 TWS, 3 ECTS points

Module responsible: Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Otto Heunecke

The students get to know and evaluate the performance spectrum of geodesy for civil engineering with regard to monitoring in methodically basic, but also already in-depth form. A main focus is on teaching the interdisciplinary approach to monitoring tasks. Most of such tasks require automated, highly accurate instruments that allow the detection of movements at an early stage. The measurement exercises serve to get to know such modern instruments.

 

Geodesy and Geoinformation Systems (BAU, M.Sc.)

Module 1319 (compulsory module), 9th trimester, 6 TWS, 5 ECTS points

Module responsible: Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Otto Heunecke

Students will learn about the range of services offered by geodesy and geoinformation systems (GIS) for the needs of the building industry with regard to spatial data infrastructures, the possibilities of digital inventory surveys with modern techniques, inventory management in geoinformation systems as well as the further processing of data to, for example, digital terrain models and the application of GIS methods. The students know the measuring method "Terrestrial Laser Scanning", work independently with the available software from the fields of laser scanning, CAD and GIS and can apply important methods.

 

Building Construction (BAU, M.Sc.)

Module 1342 (optional module), 10th trimester, 6 TWS, 5 ECTS points

Module responsible: Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Geralt Siebert

Knowledge of the different methods to determine the necessary geometric boundary conditions of existing buildings. Knowledge of the special boundary conditions for building in existing enviroments as well as construction methods for strengthening / reinforcing, and consideration of the load history for structural engineering verifications. Recognition of damage to the existing structures and assessment of the requirements and possibilities for possible renovation.

 

Tunnel Construction (BAU, M.Sc.)

Module 1332 (optional module), 10th trimester, 6 TWS, 5 ECTS points

Module responsible: Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Philip Sander

In the range of tasks of civil engineering, "tunnelling" is at the same time particularly promising and challenging. It can only be presented comprehensively in an interdisciplinary way. For this reason, construction management, geotechnics, solid construction and geodesy have joined forces in a joint course.
