Ⅰ.Introduction
The undergraduate programs of Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU) for specialty of Surveying Engineering aims to cultivate entrepreneurs, engineers etc. on surveying engineering with also knowledge of rail transit related. The prospect in the near future is to join the first.tier programs of China and be influential surveying program globally.
The grogram has a long history and the surveying related course was printed on the early SWJTU graduation certificate which is also the oldest existing college graduation certificate in mainland China. In 1959, SWJTU launched an aerial surveying specialization in the Department of Railway Construction. The specialization was changed into photogrammetry and remote sensing program in 1985 and begin to enroll students as the program of surveying and mapping in 2015. At present, this program is the top one in rail transit and in southwest area of China. The program’s construction is supported by the national “Double.First Class” project, “Collaborative Innovation Center”, “211” project and “985” project. The program has advantages of follows.
The undergraduate program of SWJTU for specialty of Surveying Engineering is the leading one in the area of railway related and has a long history. Many professional talents working in the railway surveying area have even been educated here.
The teachers have been prepared for the program’s internationalization by the chance of constructing the international school. This enables them to contribute directly to the Belt and Road Initiative, and the Globalization Strategy of China's High.Speed Railway.
The various high.quality platforms for talents cultivation are available, including the National United Engineering Laboratory of Integrated and Intelligent Transportation, a National (Virtual simulation) Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center, and a national center of engineering practice and education.
Program Code: 081201
