It is an engineering discipline based on the study of the general shape of the land, determining its details, level and boundaries, calculating the areas of land in its various forms, knowing the heights and depressions of different points on the surface of the earth, each relative to each other, or to any known horizontal level using various surveying devices and modern techniques from GPS devices and aerial photographs. and satellite channels to keep pace with technical and technical developments in the sciences of land surveying, and to qualify them directly for the labor market.

This specialization aims to:

• Studying the shape and surface of the Earth and determining its details and boundaries.
• Dividing lands and buildings and determining properties in accordance with the laws and regulations in force.
• Knowing the heights and depressions of the different points on the surface of the earth, relative to each other, or to any known horizontal level. This process is called the budget, which is used in settlement operations.
• Carrying out lifting and cadastral works for engineering development projects related to construction, roads, tunnels, bridges and water projects such as wells and sewage, and others.
• Using modern surveying equipment of all kinds with high professionalism.

This specialization is concerned with the following aspects:

• Measure and calculate coordinates in different ways.
• Calculate the directions and lengths of the polygons.
• Representing and showing the terrain on the plans and maps.
• Calculating the various quantities such as excavation, backfilling, areas and quantities of materials for constructing buildings.
• The use of various survey devices in the survey work
• Using various software in analyzing field data, such as using AutoCAD software, geographic information systems software and GPS software in processing the fixed monitoring system.

Specialization in GIS and Remote Sensing (the only one in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan):

The specialization of geographic information systems (spatial) and remote sensing is an engineering specialization that keeps pace with the development in modern spatial engineering techniques, based on the collection of spatial and descriptive information from its multiple sources from land, air, or spatial space and its inclusion in geospatial databases with a known coordinate system with the aim of producing and updating digital maps and conducting Analysis, measurement and extraction of results. The specialization is also concerned with the use of modern technologies in the processing, interpretation and use of aerial and satellite images for various purposes.

This specialization aims to:

• Learn the basic principles of remote sensing and how to interpret satellite images.
• Configure databases according to needs.
• How to process satellite images and digital processing systems.
• Using specialized software for processing and analyzing satellite images and extracting the results.
• Using remote sensing applications in various fields (agriculture, urban sprawl, geology, …etc).
• Keeping abreast of modern technologies and software in geographic information systems and remote sensing for use in making detailed maps in holistic planning.

This specialization is concerned with the following aspects:

• Create databases for use in making detailed maps and performing statistical operations.
• Linking between different databases.
• The study of terrestrial phenomena such as vegetation cover and water bodies through satellite images.
• Study of changing phenomena such as floods and traffic through the satellite image.
• Extracting data from detailed maps.
• Map production and update.
