The Bachelor of Science in Geographical Engineering is an educational program that provides students with theoretical and practical knowledge in areas such as geographic information systems, cartography and land surveying. The aim of the program is to specialize students in map making, land surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing and geographic information systems and to provide them with the necessary skills in these fields.
The academic content of the program is generally based on the foundations of mathematics, physics and computer science. In addition to core courses in surveying engineering, students gain in-depth knowledge in subjects such as geographic information systems, photogrammetry, remote sensing, land surveying and map making techniques. In addition, students gain practical experience through projects and laboratory work.
Training methods include theoretical lectures as well as practical laboratory work, field studies and projects. These practical studies aim to provide students with the skills to solve problems in real-world scenarios. In addition, the use of modern measuring instruments and software is emphasized, enabling students to master the technologies used in the industry.
Career opportunities for Map Engineering graduates are quite wide. Graduates can work in the public and private sectors, especially in the fields of geographic information systems, urban planning, civil, mining and environmental engineering. In addition, engineers who specialize in land surveying and map making may also have freelance opportunities.
Within the scope of the program, students are also offered internships and field practices. These internships and practices provide students with the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge they have acquired in the sector in real-world scenarios, increasing their chances of finding a job after graduation. Students also get the chance to expand their professional networks and learn about current practices in the sector.
