General description	Underground surveying is quite different from surveying on the surface. In tunnelling or mining operations it may be hot, wet, dark, cramped, dusty, dirty and dangerous, and usually most of these. The essential problem in underground surveying is that of orientating the underground surveys to the surface surveys. The course will cover methods and instruments used in underground surveying.

	Description
Problem solving, classroom exercises	The problem classes will consist of solving exercises of varying complexity. In addition, exercises will be proposed to be solved by the students. Practical work will be carried out in the classroom and/or in the Surveying Office.
Field work/trips	They will take place in the practical field of the School of Mining Engineering. Groups will be created for data collection. Students will have at their disposal the topographic instruments and the documentation and material necessary to carry out the practicals.
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms	They will be carried out individually in the computer room, using specific software to solve practical examples related to the contents of the subject.
Personal tuition	The teacher will be dedicated to resolving any doubts that students may have and, in particular, to proposing and guiding the work to be carried out. The student can count on the help of the teacher in individual tutorials, which are not compulsory. These tutorials will take place in the teacher's office and it is recommended to arrange them by e-mail.
Lecture	They are developed by means of a blackboard and multimedia presentation. Firstly, a theoretical exposition of all the concepts included in the programme is given. Subsequently, the concepts are justified and their application to specific cases is shown.

Personalized attention

Personal tuition

Description He/she will resolve any doubts that students may have and, in particular, will propose and guide the work to be carried out. The student can count on the help of the teacher in individual tutorials of a non-compulsory nature. These tutorials will take place in the teacher's office and it is recommended to arrange them by e-mail.
