Oregon State University  Civil/Construction Engineering is offering two GPS Workshops in February.  You can register for either one or receive a discount if you register for both.

 

Day 1: February 20: Basic GPS:

 

This workshop introduces the basic concepts of GPS surveying and proper procedures as defined by various standards as they relate to both static and real-time surveys. Students will apply knowledge gained in the workshop to complete a project in a small group environment and follow-up with a presentation outlining the project to the entire class. Emphasis will be placed on hands-on learning. Bring a laptop - not required, but helpful.

Day 2: February 21: Oregon Real-time GPS Network:

 

Participants will learn about the structure of the Oregon Real-Time GPS Network (ORGN). You will learn how to download RINEX data for post-processing GPS field data. Access to ORGN rover accounts and what GPS equipment and cellular services are needed to utilize real-time corrector will be explained. A field exercise using GPS rovers and ORGN RT correctors will be held. New users and GPS novice personnel will gain the most from this workshop.
