Applied Undergraduate Program in General Surveying and Mapping Technology

Applied Undergraduate Program in General Surveying and Mapping Technology

The Applied Undergraduate Program in General Surveying and Mapping Technology is an “Excellent” (Unggul) accredited program dedicated to producing professional surveyors who are experts in modern mapping. Graduates earn the academic degree Bachelor of Applied Engineering (S.Tr.T.).

Aligned with Level 6 of the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI), the program develops Engineering and Applied Surveyors proficient in analyzing complex problems and using cutting-edge digital tools, including High-Precision GNSS, LiDAR, and GIS-BIM integration.

The Grand Design of the Curriculum is systematically structured across four pillars—Basic Sciences, Engineering, General Education, and Professional Components—to cultivate high-level technical analysts. Students’ competencies are reinforced through strategic Capstone Design projects and a two-semester industrial internship, ensuring rigorous validation of skills in real-world environments.

Graduates play a crucial role as technical managers, designing survey workflows, conducting geospatial data investigations, and maintaining professional accountability for strategic infrastructure projects. This ensures comprehensive readiness for careers within government agencies and the global industrial sector.

Key Strengths

The Applied Undergraduate Program in General Surveying and Mapping Technology excels as a premier provider of competent human resources in Geospatial Information (GI) management, driven by three cutting-edge technological pillars, namely:

Terrestrial Surveying: Focusing on high precision for the construction industry, strategic infrastructure, and deformation monitoring by integrating manual methods with digital automation.
Photogrammetry: Expertise in UAV-based aerial data acquisition and metric sensors to accelerate national large-scale mapping through Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and orthophotography processing.
Hydrographic Surveying: Specialized competency in aquatic mapping using echo sounder technology to support the blue economy, navigation, and marine resource management.

The integration of these three pillars equips graduates with multi-environment acquisition capabilities and the ability to manage accurate geospatial databases. This makes our graduates highly relevant experts for government agencies (such as BIG and BPN), the mining and energy industries, and the global private sector.
