7589 Corpscon Coordinate Conversion (3 Hrs. Con. Ed. Cr.)

This correspondence course gives instruction and information regarding coordinate conversion related to geodetic location and relocation.  The correspondence course teaches skills needed in the practice of surveying and mapping.  The practice of surveying and mapping involves the application of special knowledge regarding geodetic location and relocation.  Corpscon, Version 6.0, is a MS-Windows-based program created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers which allows the user to convert coordinates between Geographic, State Plane, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and US National Grid systems on the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27), the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and High Accuracy Reference Networks (HARNs).  Corpscon uses the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) program Nadcon to convert between NAD 27, NAD 83 and HARNs. Corpscon, Version 6.0, performs vertical conversions to and from the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).   The course is based on a publication dated August 2004 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers entitled “Corpscon – Version 6.x Technical Documentation and Operating Instructions”.  (3 Hrs.
