In the integrated surveying project (IVP), our students in the 3rd and 4th semesters of the Bachelor of Surveying and Geoinformatics are enthusiastically getting down to business - measuring, documenting, discussing.
For 2 weeks, they not only practise using the measuring equipment, but also actively pass it on within the group. In this way, the know-how and self-confidence in the engineering skills learnt grows with every measurement.

In the middle of the countryside, in the centre of the action!

As part of a practical project, our students in the "Surveying and Geoinformatics" bachelor's programme collect topographical data relating to wind turbines in the forest. Using state-of-the-art technology such as the total station and a lot of team spirit, the basis for future planning is created here. Learning where it counts: out in the field!

Millimetre precision over long distances!

Millimetre precision over long distances!

Determining the height of a wind turbine - no easy task when visibility is restricted. But this is exactly where our students learn to master even complex measurement situations with brains and technology. Creativity, precision and technical understanding go hand in hand.

Team player

Even with high-tech surveying, good communication is the be-all and end-all. What needs to be done is clearly agreed, then simple hand signals are all that is needed in the field to communicate as a team - quickly, reliably and clearly. This shows that in addition to technical expertise, team play is also a key qualification in surveying.
