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

common goal.A serious problem facing instructors trying to achieve this goal is to evaluate individualteam member’s roles on the team, and to create a team spirit and sense ofresponsibility among all members.In most team projects, the instructor uses a model that evaluates the final product andprobably a final presentation. The current model does not address the individual teammember’s roles in the preparation stages or in the ability to present their work. Theproject grade goes equally to each member of the team in most cases. Furthermore, thestudents who need more training on teamwork skills can be in the shadow of their peersand miss the opportunity of acquiring these skills. Therefore, the instructor will not beable to distinguish between
