Vision
The Department of Surveying Technology at Northern Technical University aims to establish a leading position in the realms of education, research, and training within the field of urban planning. Its objective is to deliver a distinguished level of instruction that meets international standards, fostering an environment conducive to excellence, competitiveness, and innovation.
Message
To prepare highly skilled technical surveying and engineering professionals capable of executing surveying tasks related to topography, surface features, property boundaries, and grading operations for buildings and infrastructure under construction. This involves capturing comprehensive ground surface details and representing them on topographic, elevation, and contour maps of various scales, utilizing advanced software applications for their generation and analysis.
Aim
The department aims to graduate specialized and scientifically and practically qualified technical cadres and personnel at a high level that is consistent with the requirements of technological and scientific development to carry out ground engineering surveys (such as topographic surveying, determining the boundaries of public and private properties and their divisions, carrying out triangulation, ribbing and leveling works, preparing and drawing special and objective maps according to local and international networking at different scales manually or by producing maps by working on ready-made programs. Preparing and producing general and private survey maps according to Iraqi and international networking through photogrammetry and working on ready-made programs.
Graduate job description
The graduate can perform triangulation, Trilateration, and levelling for installing ground control points horizontally and vertically by using traditional and modern devices.
The graduate can perform the terrain cadastral survey (topography) and cadastral properties for designs needed for engineering projects.
To prepare the planar and terrain maps (topographic) that depend on the datum given by spatial-aerial images by using the available instruments or by using modern devices.
Thematic mapping using Geographic Information System GIS.
