One of the work packages of EduLAND2 project is delivering survey instruments from high to low accuracy levels. These different survey Instruments are being delivered in different phases. In the first project year, handheld GPSs have been bought nationally and are being used for the teaching learning process. As known, handheld GPSs are not recommended to be used for boundary surveys due to low accuracy problem and accordingly focusing and delivering the highest accurate level instruments such Total Station and RTK GPSs was one main activity given due attention in the project. Initially, these instruments were deemed to be bought nationally just like Handheld GPSs but due to currency problems and high price of these equipments, buying by northern partners of the project was the preferred method of delivery. Accordingly BOKU, Austria, took responsibility to buy and donate these instruments to DMU. BOKU has successfully accomplished the responsibility. It did in two phases; the first phase was conducted at the end of the second project year as seen from the information posted in the institute website.

The second phase of delivery is conducted at the end of third project year. In this phase, 3 TS07 R500 5″ (three total Stations), one GS14 Rover Package, 4 Leica Infinity (Basic bundle and infinity GNSS Multi frequency data-proc.), and other accessories are donated to DMU. These survey equipments if bought nationally, it might cost about 7.15million Birr. But, by the purchase of the instruments by the northern partner, we got educational package price and in total the instruments are bought by about 3.5million Birr. Besides the currency issues and its national high price, our university is beneficial for getting educational package price.
