HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY
The
Department of Surveying fully came into existence with the first intake
in the 1989/1990 session. The Surveying programme in the School of Environmental
Sciences of Federal University of Technology, Yola consists of five year
programme of studies leading to the award of Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.)
Surveying on successful completion.
Surveying as a foundation discipline in Engineering, Environmental Sciences
and planning, provides training in the spatial location of the earth's
features, providing in the process the environmental information necessary
for designing of engineering works, spatial planning, location of infrastructure,
development of natural resources and land administration. The Surveyor
is not only a professional and academic Geoscientist but also must have
a good grasp of Physics, Mathematics and able to work in a multi-disciplinary
team comprising the engineers, environmental analysts and planners.
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
Since
the problems surveyor attempts to solve are of diverse nature, his/her
education must be oriented accordingly. Therefore, surveying students
must be well trained in the following areas:- Land Surveying (including
Cadastral, Engineering Surveying and Topographical surveying), Geodesy, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, Hydrographic surveying and Geographic/Land
Information System. This is to make him/her (surveying student) grow into
full and well qualified professional surveyor.
The
department offers the professional course leading to the B. Tech in surveying
obtainable on 5 year standard schedule or in four years through direct
entry.

school certificate or equivalent examination in not more than two sittings.
Direct entry admission candidates must in addition to complying with the
minimum entry requirements of the Federal University of Technology, Yola,
present evidence of having passed in both Mathematics and Physics at the
"A" level in addition to 3 other "O" level papers
passed at the credit level. Candidates with the Ordinary National Diploma
should satisfy the GCE "O" level requirements as well as pass
at the Upper Credit level. In all cases the FIVE credits should include
Geography, Technical drawing and Physics
DEGREE AWARDED
The Degree awarded is: Bachelor of Technology (Surveying) : B. Tech
DURATION OF THE STUDY
The
Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech.) Surveying Degree is a five-year programme
for holders of required credits in SSCE, (WAEC or NECO), or four years
for holders of advanced level papers or National Diploma in Surveying
i.e. by direct entry.

Teaching and Research Facilities Available in
the Department
(i) Classrooms/ Lab / Studio
(ii)
SD 2000 Compact Work Station: The S.D. 2000 Compact workstation is an
automated and Digitized computer based photogrammetric restitution mapping/LIS
equipment interfaced with a computer and a digital plotter. It is used
for mapping, GIS-data Acquisition, close range photogrammetry and interpretation
through an in-built software system and viewed stereoscopically, with
enhanced precision application.
It
is a database management equipment suitable for geographic information
system. It is the only one of its kind in Northern part of the county.
With this our mapping activities are made easier and faster. It has precise
free-hand control with tracable and Z-wheel for point-by-point restitution
or with x and y hand wheel with z-foot disk. There is open system compactible
with host computers and application software of your choice.
(iii)
Survey Store equipped with GPS, scanners, Theodolites, levels etc.
HIGHER DEGREE PROGRAMMES
The
Department of Surveying has designed programmes for candidates wishing
to obtain the Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) in Surveying and Master of Technology
(M.Tech.) Degree in Surveying. The areas of specialisation are Hydrographic
Surveying, Geodesy, Remote Sensing, Photogrammetry, Cadastral and Land
information management and GIS.
