Surveying Equipment Using Cost-Sensitive Devices to Promote Innovative Mapping Solutions in Undergraduate EngineeringAbstractEngineering applications typically use mapping products as input for developing solutions.Several levels of data acquisition can support engineering projects, such as orbital, aerial, andterrestrial data gathering. Considering the terrestrial level, the way to acquire data can be static,where the equipment is at a fixed position during the measurements, or kinematic (mobile), inwhich a platform carries the equipment during data acquisition - in movement. Terrestrial mobilemapping systems (TMMS) usually have sensors assembled in a vehicle that collect data whilemoving, and nowadays, these systems

This paper aims to betterunderstand the key factors negatively influencing civil engineers' ability to utilize PtD. Theresearch team, therefore, conducted a survey aimed at gathering insights from engineeringpractitioners regarding the factors that might impede its utilization and the role of engineers inits implementation. The findings indicate that various factors contribute to the challenge, suchas the absence of PtD educational materials
