Graduates of geomatics programs have a direct and substantial impact
on the shaping and preservation of the environment. Surveyors
work with the most modern and precise satellite navigation systems
and measurement devices yet developed to locate ownership boundaries
and other features.
Surveyors regularly work with legal
issues ranging from boundary location to land development and
environmental regulation.
Surveyors play key roles in the design and construction of the nation's
buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels, water-supply systems, and utilities.
Some surveyors may design and build computer systems for purposes
such as land management, resource management, utility organization,
traffic control, and urban planning. Other surveyors help less
developed counntries to change their land ownership systems to promote
economic growth and democracy. Many surveyors also work toward
environmental protection and efficient utilization of the earth's
resources. |

Surveying is a growing field |
|
| Surveying is discerned from many other disciplines by the breadth
and availability of potential jobs, and the diverse locations of job
opportunities. Surveyors work everywhere from remote wilderness
areas to large cities, and from exposed outdoor settings to climate-controlled
offices, in careers ranging from land surveying and aerial mapping
to satellite positioning, remote sensing, and software development.
Surveyors have many opportunities to work in all areas of the globe
for employers such as large international computer companies, international
consulting firms, hometown companies, and federal, state, local, and
occasionally foreign, governments. Also, many surveyors are
self-employed in surveying, mapping, and consulting. Simply
put, surveyors have a unique opportunity to influence land use, the
environment, and society through a broad range of surveying careers. |
