Is there a future in learning surveying and mapping?

Learning surveying and mapping has a bright future.

Surveying and mapping is a comprehensive discipline involving geography, geology, architecture, aviation, ocean, astronomy and other fields, and its application range is very wide. Surveying and mapping professionals are needed in national basic geographic information, large-scale infrastructure design and construction, land and resources survey, mineral resources survey, real estate industry and geographic information system.

With the continuous development and renewal of national infrastructure construction, the demand for surveying and mapping professionals is increasing. Surveying and mapping professionals are required to participate in the construction of transportation infrastructure such as expressway, bridges, tunnels and subways, infrastructure construction in energy fields such as water conservancy projects, electric power projects and nuclear power projects, and the needs of urban planning, municipal engineering and public buildings.

With the country's emphasis on updating and perfecting basic geographic information data, the demand for surveying and mapping professionals is increasing. Basic geographic information data is an important strategic resource of the country, which involves national security and economic development. Therefore, the country has continuously increased the general survey of basic geographic information data, which also provides more employment opportunities and development space for surveying and mapping specialty.

With the continuous development and improvement of geographic information system, the application scope of surveying and mapping specialty is also expanding. Geographic information system is a spatial information system based on computer technology, which is used to store, manage, analyze and display geographic information. Geographic Information System (GIS) is widely used in urban planning, environmental protection, public safety, tourism and other fields.

Surveying and mapping engineering graduates should have the following knowledge and ability:

1, with good engineering professional ethics, strong patriotism and professionalism, social responsibility and rich humanistic quality.

2, have engaged in surveying and mapping engineering professional work required by mathematics, earth science knowledge and certain engineering management knowledge.

3, familiar with surveying and mapping laws and regulations and industry norms, with good quality, environment, occupational health, safety and service awareness.

4. Have a solid knowledge of basic surveying and mapping theories and systems, have strong ability of surveying and mapping data analysis, have professional skills in surveying and mapping production, and understand the theoretical frontier, technical development trend and industry demand of surveying and mapping science and technology.

5, with the comprehensive application of surveying and mapping engineering theory, project design and project implementation and the ability to solve practical problems in engineering.
