About the program

Students, who specialize in "Engineering geodesy", study the state-of-the-art instruments and technologies in order to collect geospatial data about the objects and other phenomena in the geospace. Such instruments include total stations, electronic levelling instruments, satellite receivers, terrestrial laser scanners, etc. They also learn a wide range of software for spatial data processing. Engineers with a degree in "Engineering geodesy" are able to perform all sorts of geodetic works , including creation of geodetic base using up-to-date satellite techniques; technical diagnostics of unique engineering structures; geodetic support while constructing and maintenance of engineering facilities. Future specialists can use computer technologies for geospatial data processing by means of such software as Panorama, CREDO, AutoCAD, Photomod, MapInfo and others. They also provide geodetic expertise of land-pecuniary relations and property units; inventory and certification of property units, applying 3D technologies for objects representation via real time link.
Engineer-geodesist is one of the professions with excellent job opportunities in the relevant spheres.
