The acquisition of basic knowledge of about topographic cartography with a focus on achieving the ability to distinguish topographic objects and their display on topographic maps in accordance with the Topographic Information System of Croatia (CROTIS). The acquisition of basic knowledge of visualization and communication with the help of topographic maps in order to establish and maintain topographic maps.
Understand the role of geodesy, geoinformatics and spatial data in modern world, demonstrate competences in measuring systems, methods and technologies of measurement and spatial data collection.
Make plans, maps and related presentations using modern methods and technologies on the basis of measured data and other sources.
Determine and interpret the size, properties and relations of objects in space on the basis of measured data, spatial databases, plans and maps.
Maintain topographic, cartographic, maritime and navigation, and land information systems, integrate and visualise spatial information.
Exercise appropriate judgements on the basis of performed calculation processing and interpretation of data obtained by means of surveying and its results.
Prepare official public documents, reports, graphic and cartographic presentations using the surveying results related to objects in space
