This is an intensive field practical programme to the UTM HYDRO III CAT A students to conduct hands-on application relates to the theories and laboratory exercises learn from their classroom. This CMFP module serves as a platform to train the hydrographic surveyors professionally in line with the latest marine technologies in hydrographic surveying. The comprehensive survey operation starts from survey planning, establishing vertical and horizontal controls and data acquisition (e.g. SBES, MBES, SSS, etc.) in their field survey operation. Besides that, the students are exposed to sophisticated hydrographic processing software to process their bathymetric data in the office and eventually to produce a nautical chart. At the end of the CMFP module, the students are required to showcase their results and analysis, and then submit a comprehensive field survey report. Well done to all the candidates of UTM HYDRO III intake 2023 for delivering this splendid work.
