What is surveying and mapping engineering for?

Surveying and mapping engineering majors study how to determine the shape, external gravity field and physical characteristics of the earth with the help of modern space and electronic technology. Cultivate senior surveying and mapping talents who master the basic principles and methods of information acquisition, processing, analysis, expression and application of digital earth framework, master the basic theories of modern space measurement technology, digital photogrammetry and remote sensing technology, cartography and geographic information system, have a solid foundation in mathematics, English and computer application and good professional quality, and meet the needs of modern socialist economic construction.

The major courses of Surveying and Mapping Engineering include: digital communication technology, remote sensing technology and its application, artificial intelligence and expert system, photogrammetry and remote sensing foundation, geodesy foundation, ellipsoid geodesy, surveying and mapping management, spatial positioning technology and its application, special precision engineering surveying, geographic information system design, surveying data processing theory, map design, digital map drawing principle, satellite navigation, digital image processing, industrial and engineering photogrammetry, engineering supervision and photography.

Main practical teaching links: course design, graduation design (thesis) and concentrated practice of major and professional basic courses.

Main experiments: topographic survey practice, geodetic (control) survey practice, control network adjustment calculation practice, photogrammetry practice, engineering survey practice, mine survey practice, cadastral survey practice, GPS positioning and navigation practice, remote sensing image processing practice, map compilation practice, course design and graduation design (thesis).

Graduates can engage in design, planning, measurement, management technology, teaching and scientific research in aerospace, transportation, railway, agriculture, land and resources, ocean, metallurgy, electric power, water conservancy, petroleum, coal, national defense, surveying and mapping, public security, earthquake and other departments.
