GEOSPATIAL ENGINEERING

Geospatial engineering includes careers in surveying and mapping drafting cartography photogrammetry civil engineering and technician related job types Under the direction of a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) and or Registered Civil Engineer (RCE) geospatial engineers obtain data used for construction map making boundary location and mining They also calculate map making information and create maps from source data such as surveying notes aerial photography satellite data or other maps to show topographical features political boundaries and may also verify accuracy and completeness of maps
