Synthesis project

The project aims at investigating a real-world geo-information problem. Geomatics teachers in cooperation with a company, NGO, governmental agency, or a TU Delft research group that is not involved in the Geomatics for the Built Environment program. The clients define the problem. The problem will be addressed by a group of students. The project enables you to gain further knowledge and skills in acquisition, processing, analysis and interpretation, and visualization of geo-information as well as insights in the running of a project in which diverse stakeholders are involved.

Your final grade is compiled from a group grade for the project final report. The group grade is based on the technical quality of the project, and the performance of the student in the research process.

The individual reflection on the final report can influence positively or negatively for 0,5 grade point (maximum) the grade on the final report.
The grading is detailed in the rubrics available on Brightspace.

In order to pass the course, students also have to attend and take part in the group's midterm presentation, and two final presentations (one technical presentation for Geomatics staff/ students and one outreach presentation on Geomatics Day), and do the team peer review (on both the midterm report and final technical presentation).

To pass the course, a group mark and an individual mark of at least a 5.75 is required. Students that fail the course have to do a repair assignment for a maximum grade of a 6.0 for the course.
