The Surveying discipline is traditionally concerned with the measurement and graphical representation of the objects on earth as well as its environment. It is one of the oldest professional discipline whose application have been in the forefront in the discovery and mapping of new lands, construction of engineering projects, and the management of land and landed property. In recent times however, the discipline has expanded quite rapidly due, in particular, to the developments in information, communication, and space technologies. Due to the widespread use of the technologies of positioning and navigation, geospatial information systems, and remote sensing, the discipline has quite clearly grown beyond that of the traditional ‘surveying and mapping’. Today, it is considered that eighty percent of information that is usually required for decision making in management is geo-referenced and thus requires the application of geospatial technologies. The School of Surveying and Spatial Sciences is a premier centre of training, research, and innovations in surveying and related disciplines such as remote sensing, photogrammetry, Geographic Information Science and Informatrion and COmmunication Technologies pertaining to geographic information handling (GeoICT).
