Is it important to learn English for Surveying and Mapping?

Surveying and mapping is an interdisciplinary subject developed on the basis of surveying and mapping science, geographical science, information science and technology, and it has a strong development momentum at home and abroad. Therefore, more than 100 universities in China have set up surveying and mapping majors at the undergraduate level, and have set up specialized English courses for this major. In view of the problems existing in the textbook construction of this specialized English course in recent years, such as outdated content and insufficient knowledge coverage, Surveying and Mapping English is mainly divided into three parts: surveying technology, photogrammetry and remote sensing, and geographic information system, and each part has selected and compiled the specialized textbook content used by internationally renowned universities. For the convenience of undergraduates, the main vocabulary and key sentences are explained in detail after each article. Considering the lack of professional translation and English paper writing ability of China students, the fourth part-writing and translation skills of scientific papers is added. English for Surveying and Mapping can be used by teachers majoring in Surveying and Mapping, Geography, Remote Sensing, Civil Engineering and Geology. It can also be used as a teaching reference book for senior undergraduates and graduate students in related majors, or for scientific and technological workers in related fields.
