Course objectives:

Students will learn working principles of navigation systems.

Student responsibilities:

Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:

continuous, multilevel testing of knowledge and developed understanding

Methods of monitoring quality that ensure acquisition of exit competences:

analysis of nonstructured classes" discussions - analisys seminar"s quality levels

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):

Competently use models of navigation systems for innovative applications. - Active and interdisciplinary application of basic features research and innovative development of navigation system. - Present the elements of social conditionality for development of navigation system. - Use the principles for underlying modern navigation systems. - Use the basic properties of the navigation system. - Estimate the mutual influence of different principles of navigation systems.
