Surveying and mapping specialty is a subject to cultivate students' surveying and mapping skills, geographic information system application ability and geospatial data processing and analysis ability. This major involves the techniques and methods of measuring, recording, processing and analyzing the earth's surface, geospatial data and geographic information.
1. Specialized courses: Specialized courses include geodesy, engineering surveying, topographic surveying, satellite navigation and remote sensing, geographic information system, spatial data processing and analysis, etc. Students will learn the use of measuring instruments, measuring principles and methods, drawing technology, GIS software and data analysis.
2. Professional skills training: through experimental courses, internships and practical links, students are trained in the skills of measuring instrument operation and data processing, as well as map making, spatial data processing and analysis.
3. Career development direction: After graduation, I can be engaged in surveying and mapping engineer, geographic information engineer, GIS technician, cartographer, geospatial data analyst, land surveyor, surveying and mapping project management division, etc. Graduates can be employed in surveying and mapping geographic information departments, land and resources management departments, construction engineering companies, geographic information service companies, map making institutions, scientific research institutions and other fields.
4. Technical application field: Surveying and mapping has a wide range of technical application fields, including land survey, road engineering survey, bridge construction, urban planning and pipe network management, resource and environment survey and monitoring, navigation and guidance system, environmental protection and ecological management, disaster prevention and mitigation, emergency response, etc.
5. Professional certification and qualification certificate: In some countries and regions, obtaining the corresponding professional qualification certificate of surveying and mapping is a necessary condition for engaging in surveying and mapping and geographic information-related work. For example, in China, you need to pass the National Surveying and Mapping Technical Qualification Examination to obtain the Surveying and Mapping Engineer Grade Certificate.
