Program: Surveying engineering

The surveying profession offers a wide variety of different types of work, some indoors and some outdoors. The surveyor may specialize in precise calculations, boundary conflict problems, or construction layout. There are also good opportunities to play a leading role in the development of the natural resources of the country. The profession affords unlimited opportunities for personal involvement.

Some categories of the surveying profession are:

  • Land Surveying
  • Geodetic Control Surveying
  • Engineering Surveying
  • Marine Surveying
