COURSE DESCRIPTION
Map the world from outer space
The work of surveyors knows no bounds and could see you play an important role within your local community, across countries and continents. Become capable in providing engineering certainty to the Australian community.
Be involved in projects like designing new land developments or new roads, supporting mine operations, or preparing topographical maps. Work on preparations for building of a new tunnel or mapping of flood areas for disaster preparedness.
Globally, your work as a surveyor could see you involved in the prediction of earthquakes, mapping of the ocean floor; or monitoring and mapping environmental changes via satellite data.
Course overview
This program includes a number of practical fieldwork related classes, providing students with an opportunity to undertake real world exercises, often with the support of local land and mining surveyors.
Build critical surveying, technical and engineering skills in:
Cadastral surveying
Modern surveying techniques and computations
Geodesy
Industrial surveying
Photogrammetry and laser scanning
Satellite positioning
Spatial data systems and remote sensing
Legal systems and processes for land management
Town planning
Mine surveying
Hydrology and water engineering
Career opportunities
Surveyors assist in the planning of almost all development and mapping of the land and earth. A shortage of surveyors in Australia has led to high demand for graduates. Work in consultancies, private practice, the mining industry and government organisations.
Surveying is flexible and diverse. You may prefer hands-on fieldwork, office-based computation and computer drafting, research, or a leadership role managing people and projects.
Professional outcomes:
Registered Land Surveyor
Mining Surveyor
Hydrographic Surveyor
Town Planning
Geospatial Specialist
Photogrammetrist
