Surveying Exam

Surveying is a vital sub-discipline of civil engineering, whose task is to measure, collect, analyze, and draw spatial and land information for construction projects, road construction, dam construction, urban development, mining, etc.

This field requires high accuracy, skills in working with precise equipment, and mastery of surveying software.

Purpose of the Surveying Exam

• To evaluate the ability of candidates to collect and implement land points

• To teach practical skills in working with a total station camera, level, handheld GPS, and map reading

• To improve the scientific and technical level of surveying technicians to work in construction projects

• To prepare specialized personnel to enter the domestic and foreign labor markets

 Job opportunities for surveying degree holders

Surveying degree holders can work in construction, engineering and urban development projects in the following positions:

• Surveyor in construction projects

• Building construction, road construction, bridges, tunnels, dams, transmission lines

• Cooperation with engineering and consulting offices

• Carrying out initial land surveys, route design, leveling surveys

• Employment in municipalities or government organizations

• Preparing urban maps, land registration, construction control

• Working in surveying and consulting companies

• Implementing maps, project control, daily reporting

• Working in mines, railways and oil and gas

• Accurate surveying of industrial and difficult environments

Job migration

Surveying is an international profession and is in high demand in countries such as Germany, Australia, Canada and Arab countries.

 The value and importance of having a surveying degree

• Has an international code (ISCO/ILO)

• Can be officially translated for use in immigration or foreign work
