Teaching Method

Outline:
The surveying techniques students learned in Surveying is the basis of surveying, and the surveying techniques used in each area of business is diverse. In this class, a lecturer who works at a surveying company will give lectures on how the surveying techniques are used in the practice of various consultancy activities, and convey the significance of surveying. In particular, the lecturer will introduce many examples of changes in the business context as the use of 3D data has been realized due to the advances of hardware and software.
Liaison: Yasuyuki Nabeshima
Style:
Classes will be mainly conducted through lectures, with exercises weaved in.
Classes will be conducted by a lecturer with experience of actual work on each field of expertise.
