Science of Land Surveying Engineering is the science of mapping and demarcation of the built and natural environment and the terrain of the earth’s surface. Scientist Engineer Surveyor records and places with great accuracy the boundaries between properties and among others, composes and creates developments and participates in construction projects that require great accuracy and detailed design.
During the first two years students are introduced to the basics of the science of Surveying Engineering and taught at a high level, all necessary Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science, to acquire all the necessary knowledge for the following years and the more complicated subjects of Surveying Engineering. The Bachelor of Land Surveying Engineering in Neapolis is structured in such a way that theory with practice blend harmoniously with the sole aim of the student to gain in-depth knowledge of this science.
By studying a programme of Land Surveying Engineering may specialize in the following:
- Topographical Mapping: Is the creation of maps that depict the surface of the earth and the built environment
- Geodetic Surveying: are jobs of high precision illustrating the shape and size of the earth. Such surveys deter mine the limits between countries
- Mapping: is map composition with the use instruments such as photogrammetry and remote sensing. These maps can have a particular use or search for a specific portion of the population
- Land registry mapping (Surface surveying): Is the mapping of properties, city planning, land division, etc. The responsible (approved) surveyors may in many cases replace the job of land registry
- Mapping for Construction: For any kind of construction, such as buildings, roads, bridges, etc., are required detailed topographical plans, for the implementation of these projects is responsible the Surveying Engineer.
“From land surveying exercises of Eratosthenes and Ptolemy’s maps the science of topographers ‘counts’ 2500 years. Today, the surveyor engineer utilizes the latest technologies to record, reconstruct and ultimately to interpret the geographical area, supporting a very wide range of architectural, urban planning, transportation and hydraulic projects. It would, therefore, be no exaggeration to say that every project starts with technical assistance from the topographer.”
