Geodesy

Geodesy techniques can be described as the study of the shape and size of earth, land and sea. This study program also allows students to learn to draw earth shapes which are then better known as mapping. Actually the geodesy technique is a derivative of applied mathematics that measures area, describing the position of each point and shape of the earth. However, along with the development of technology, the science of geodesy began to shift to Geomatics or Geoinfomatics. The difference is that Geomatics takes an integrated approach from the analysis, measurement, management, and presentation of data on the physical situation of the earth.

Although this department is less popular, geodesy has a very important role in real life. Almost all employment and industry use the role of spatial geodetic instincts, for example oil, mining, and information technology.

Geodesy which prioritizes measurement and mapping techniques will always be needed. Some industries such as mining, construction, property, and infrastructure certainly need a clear understanding of the location, land, and spatial conditions in which they carry out their respective projects.
