BA/BS in Real Estate Measurement Engineering

General Description: Objective(s) of a study programme: The aim of Professional Bachelor study of Real Estate Measurement Engineering program is to prepare highly qualified real estate surveying engineering specialists capable of developing real estate objects, carrying out surveys with modern geodetic instruments, GPS equipment, using stationary 3D scanners and unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), using geoinformation technologies to create 3D digital surface models, using laser technologies and other methods to measure real estate data, carrying out cadastral measurements of buildings and land plots, preparing topographic and geodetic plans of engineering systems.. Learning outcomes: The graduate of Real Estate Measurement Engineering program will be able to: 1. Adapt traditional and innovative measurements engineering techniques and use methods for design & development, combining cost, benefit, safety of humans, quality, and reliability. 2. Apply knowledge of new technologies and solve geodetic, cartographic, spatial information infrastructure and territorial planning challenges. 3. Use methods of mathematical statistical data processing, measurement reliability and uncertainty determination methods, as well as be able to collect, analyze and systematize data. 4. Use measurement information for engineering research and other applied research, design different types of engineering maps and create information data sets. 5. Conduct practical research, planning and designing experiments, starting with problem formulation, selection of research equipment, and evaluation and qualification of results. 6. Make measurements with modern measuring devices, to analyze the results of real estate administration, formation, evaluation methods, that meet Lithuanian and EU standards and regulations. 7. Apply measurements software to solve engineering problems, obtain and process data solutions, produce computer graphics and perform digital projects. 8. Work independently as well as in a team, with a holistic understanding of the impact of engineering decisions on society and the environment, and in compliance with professional ethics and engineering standards. 9. Find out the interfaces of measurement solutions with their economic consequences, to understand the importance of individual lifelong learning and to prepare for it, to be able to communicate with the engineering community and the general public. Activities of teaching and learning: The Real Estate Measurement Engineering study program is oriented to the development of generic and specialist competences and creativity: lectures, seminars, discussions, individual and group projects, practice, case studies, public presentation and defense of projects, mind-maps, problem - solving reading, writing articles, information search and systematizing, etc. Methods of student achievement assessment: The assessment of the learning outcomes of the study programme is carried out during the semester and the examination session applying a cumulative assessment system. During the semester, the learning outcomes are assessed by means of interim assignments: tests, individual and group projects, case studies, information search and systematizing, discussions, essays, independent creative tasks, seminars, term papers, practice reports, examinations, final projects and / or qualifying exams.
