You can study a flexible first-year program consisting of a wide choice of electives and five core courses in Maths, Physics, Engineering, Design and Computing.
To give you a broad range of experience in Surveying, part of your degree includes a one-week off-campus survey camp. This is where you’ll take part in comprehensive survey projects involving control survey design and implementation, detail surveys, contour surveys, the setting-out of a rural road, and other selected projects.
This one-week immersive learning experience spans:
- cadastral surveys
- the remote sensing analysis of the environment from satellite images
- a digital photogrammetric mapping task
- setting up a precise geodetic control network, the use of precise GPS techniques
- collection of data for and design of a GIS system
- a precise engineering survey or the development
- analysis of a geospatial database of a region
You’ll also process field data and prepare plans and reports during this off-campus experience. Participants work in small groups of students working as a team to complete the design and execution of selected tasks in Surveying and Spatial Information Systems.
Complete core courses such as Surveying and Geospatial Engineering, Engineering Design and Professional Practice, Surveying Applications and Design and Cadastral Surveying and Land Law.
Electives for this degree include Ecology, Sustainability and Environmental Science, Computer Science Fundamentals, Grand Challenges for Engineering, Engineering Infrastructure Systems, Fundamentals of Geology and Sustainable Energy.
