Surveying and mapping engineering, measuring all kinds of information of space and earth, and drawing all kinds of topographic maps. Taking the shape, size and gravity field of the earth and other planets as the research object, the research and mapping objects are very extensive, mainly including various surface features, landforms, underground geological structures, hydrology and mineral deposits, such as mountains, rivers, houses, roads and vegetation.

Surveying and mapping engineers measure and draw topographic maps and provide other information before making decisions, planning and designing, so surveying and mapping work is very important. Common maps and traffic maps are all completed on the basis of surveying and mapping.

The upstream industries of engineering surveying and mapping industry include surveying and mapping instrument industry, computer information industry and aerospace industry. The development of these industries provides instruments, technologies and methods for the engineering surveying and mapping industry.

Generally speaking, the downstream industries are infrastructure construction, including housing construction, mineral exploration and development, rail transit, highway engineering, railway engineering and water conservancy engineering.
