What are the two disciplines of Surveying and Mapping Science and Technology?

There are three or two disciplines, namely: geodesy and surveying engineering? , Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing? Cartography and geographic information engineering.

Surveying and mapping science and technology is a first-class discipline among engineering disciplines in the Catalogue of Subjects and Specialties for Granting Doctoral and Master's Degrees and Training Postgraduates, which was formulated and promulgated by the Disciplinary Evaluation Group of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee.

I. Research direction

Surveying and mapping science and technology has three research directions: geodesy and surveying engineering, photogrammetry and remote sensing, cartography and geographic information engineering.

The major of geodesy and surveying engineering is to cultivate knowledge of ground surveying, marine surveying, spatial surveying, photogrammetry and remote sensing, and map compilation, and can engage in national basic surveying and mapping construction, navigation and management of land, sea and air vehicles in various departments of national economy.

Engineering and technical personnel engaged in research, management and teaching in urban and engineering construction, investigation and development of mineral resources, investigation and management of land resources, design, implementation and research of maps and geographic information systems, environmental protection and disaster prevention, geodynamics and other fields.

Photogrammetry and remote sensing specialty is to combine the system theory of photogrammetry (analytical photogrammetry and digital photogrammetry), geographic information system, image information processing and remote sensing, and the principles of related instruments and equipment to cultivate senior engineering and technical personnel engaged in map making, establishment of geographic information system, resource investigation and close-range photogrammetry production research in the field of photogrammetry and remote sensing technology.

Second, the employment direction.

Geodesy and surveying engineering: the research direction of modern geodesy covers a wide range, including automation, digitalization, intelligence and integration of surveying engineering, precision engineering survey and data analysis of nuclear power, GPS survey and application, geographic information system and application, cadastral survey and land management.

Especially in the fields of survey data processing, geographic information system, deformation monitoring, computer mapping technology, nuclear power engineering survey and so on, in-depth research has been carried out.
