Surveying Engineering

A Surveyor Engineer is a professional who is trained to:    

• Meet the requirements of the issues from the standpoint of consulting, planning, management and execution of works of his specialty, developing research tasks related to their profession and teaching classes related to the Surveyor engineering academic program, at various levels.
• Respond to the different areas that make up this well defined area of knowledge that is the Surveying engineering and that is mainly integrated by: the Geo-Photo-Topo-Cartographic expertise, the Geo-morphological area and the economic area, legal and social area. These areas that are suitably complemented allow the two fundamental objectives of the Survey: Knowledge Representation and map coverage of the land, through the determination of the material scope of territorial boundaries.
• Participate in the Interdisciplinary teams in regards to projects, planning and execution of professional character.

The Scope of a Surveyor Engineer:    

• Perform reconnaissance, identification, measurement and representation of territorial space and its characteristics.   Assign determined borders, demarcation, testing and frontline boundaries and lines of ridges and shores.
• Underline a determination and verify a demarcation of political and administrative jurisdictions.     Perform determination, demarcation and ensuring the existing territorial facts and proprietary acts of walls and fences separating and within borders.  Accomplish by measuring the determination of surveying, marking and verification of properties, lots and their limits.
• Study, plan, manage, execute and inspect: divisions, subdivisions, horizontal properties, dismemberment, unifications, annexations, and concentrations of plots and real estate restructurings.  Study, plan, record, manage, implement and inspect land, real estate and/or lots with the objective of cadastral surveying and mass appraisal work.    
• Certify and register the lot issuance and the acts of territorial survey.
• Perform and interpret altimetry, topographic, hydro-graphic and photogrammetric surveys, with geometric representation, graphical and analytical representation.   Perform morphological, stereofotogramétrical, aerial imagery and satellite interpretations.
• Study, plan, manage and execute geometric systems and complementary altimetry measurements for the study, design and construction projects layout.  Study, direct and implement trigonometric systems and poligonometric accuracy with the purpose of altimetry.
• Study, direct and implement geodesic measurement systems and altimetry measurement support.     Determine geographic precision destined at arranging the position and orientation of trigonometric systems or poligonometric isolated points.   
• Perform gravimetric measurements with geodesic purposes.    
• Perform dynamic, inertial and satellite-geodesic surveys. Study, plan, implement and control direct systems of horizontal and vertical position. Study, plan, manage and implement land information systems.
• Prepare and interpret blueprints, maps and thematic maps: topographic and cadastral.     Determine cartographic language, symbols and place names in topographical and cadastral cards.     Interpret the application of the definition of economic units in zones and participate in the rural subdivision, accomplishing by surveying the determination and demarcation of parcels or lots.     Participate in the determination of the normal potential income and make the delimitation of territorial areas.
