When it comes to surveying and mapping, perhaps the scene that appears in many people's minds is a group of people carrying tripods and measuring with various instruments. In fact, this kind of cognition is really outdated. Now the technical content and important role of surveying and mapping Far beyond ordinary people's cognition.
There are also many employment options for studying surveying and mapping in the future. For example, you can go to engineering companies to engage in geological survey, engineering surveying and mapping, engineering survey, completion survey, and supervision projects; you can go to instrument companies to engage in instrument design and instrument drawing; you can go to government and public institutions. The unit is engaged in the construction of national basic surveying and mapping, the navigation and management of land, sea and air vehicles, the survey and management of land resources, the design of maps and geographic information systems, etc.
So which universities are strong in surveying and mapping?
First, let’s look at the distribution of national key disciplines. Wuhan University and PLA Information Engineering University have national first-level key disciplines, Tongji University has one national key second-level discipline, and China University of Mining and Technology has one national second-level key cultivation discipline. Please refer to the table above for details.
Looking at the subject evaluation results again, in the fourth round of subject evaluation, Wuhan University and PLA Information Engineering University were awarded A+, and China University of Mining and Technology was awarded A-, which is consistent with the distribution of national key disciplines. In addition, Peking University, Tongji University, and Central South University were awarded B+; Shandong University of Science and Technology, China University of Geosciences, Southwest Jiaotong University, and Chang'an University were awarded B; Liaoning University of Engineering Technology, Hohai University, and Henan University of Technology were awarded B -. Among these universities, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Liaoning University of Engineering Technology, and Henan University of Technology need special attention. They are both non-academic institutions, but in terms of surveying and mapping, their strength can be compared with 985 and 211 universities. For some students who love surveying and mapping and whose scores are not too high, these three colleges are undoubtedly more cost-effective.
What are the job prospects for surveying and mapping? Is it really an unpopular major?
The working environment of surveying and mapping is relatively difficult, which is recognized by everyone, but its employment rate is still very high, almost reaching 100%. Of course, the salary is still related to the skills you have mastered. If you can only do some simple things such as laying a thread, you will definitely earn less. But if you are good at a series of tasks such as setting up control, raising the level, measuring broken steps, drawing contour lines, handling office work, building databases, etc., then that is another story. If you are proficient in satellite applications, remote sensing, ground information, map making, digital highways, disaster early warning, map navigation, smart wearable devices and other fields, let alone. However, the employment of this major is indeed not very good at the undergraduate stage, but the prospect is still very good if the direction is determined and intensive cultivation is done at the graduate stage. After all, in the information age coupled with the need for national infrastructure construction, the demand for talents in this area is still very large.
Therefore, we can no longer look at surveying and mapping from a traditional perspective. Students who like this major don’t have to worry about future employment issues. As long as you are skilled, there will definitely be a stage for you to make a difference.
