individual. Seating is limited to 30 per seminar so please register now!
The following
Continuing Education Seminars will be offered:
Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2008 (Dr. Ray Hintz, PLS, PhD) 6 General CEU Hours
Use
of Real Time Kinematic GPS in Land Surveying (Course 4014)
This seminar will provide
experience with the use of real-time kinematic GPS for a wide variety of land
survey operations. Issues discussed will include the new NAD83 (2007) datum,
equipment types and limitations, initialization and field data checking,
localizing to an existing assumed coordinate system, ellipsoid height vs.
elevation and how to field verify the quality of GPS derived elevations,
utilization of RTK in a control operation where a vector network is built and
adjusted, assigning feature codes and descriptions to GPS positions and
utilizing the FDOT Permanent Reference Network. The entire format will
be very question and answers oriented.
If you wish to bring your RTK equipment with you to
try it out with the FDOT PRN, you are more than welcome to do so. Your
system will need cell modems or cell phones that work as a cell phone modem
that allows data transfer. We can try to set your cell phone modem up but
obviously it will be impossible to tell if the cell modem/phone is really
behaving. So no promises but we can try! No specific brand of RTK
equipment is necessary for a single baseline solution but if you want to
obtain a true network solution where more than one base station used at a
time, then you need to be using Leica equipment.

Ray Hintz, PLS, PhD) 6 General CEU Hours
Using GPS in the Determination
of Elevations (Course No. 6469)
This seminar is intended to illustrate how
proper GPS field techniques, GPS occupation of benchmarks as part of a
network, and proper geoid modeling can be used to convert ellipsoid heights
to elevations that are of survey grade accuracy. Actual data sets will be
used to illustrate concepts, improper procedures and invalid results based
on improper procedures will be shown, and suggested standards for obtaining
GPS derived elevations will be discussed.

Thursday, Feb. 14, 2008 (Dr. Ray
Hintz, PLS, PhD) 6 General CEU Hours
Satisfying the ALTA Positional
Tolerance Standard (Course No. 6473)
This seminar is intended to introduce the
concept of Positional Tolerance as an indicator of survey data quality. Least
squares analysis will be first discussed, utilized, and finally used in the
positional tolerance analysis. A short handout will outline the basic concepts
of Positional Tolerance. This seminar will
illustrate ways to satisfy what positional tolerance standards may look like.
The seminar will then focus on the ALTA positional tolerance standard and the
field and office procedures required to satisfy it. The Cadastral Measurement
Management (CMM) system will be used to demonstrate positional tolerance
concepts and produce output that validates if the positional tolerance standards
have been satisfied.

Friday, Feb. 15, 2008 (William
Dees, PSM) 6 MTS CEU Hours
Minimum Technical Standards
(Course No. 6474)
This seminar will deal with the Minimum Technical
Standards as presented in Chapter 61G-17 of the Florida Administrative Code.
Each topic within Chapter 61G-17 will be viewed on a section-by-section basis
with an encouraged open discussion between those in attendance. The seminar
will be very question and answer format in nature with the goal of the
discussion to generate an exchange of ideas and opinions by those in attendance.
