My
English not too good, but I will try to explain about the majors that I have
learned today, namely Geodesy. I am a student from Gadjah Mada University,
Indonesia. Gadjah Mada University is the
best university in Indonesia, but how about Geodesy? Geodesy is not very famous
in Indonesia, but now it is becoming known a lot of people. Many people known
geodesy as surveying. In Gadjah Mada University, geodesy is the part of
Engineering Faculty. When I wrote “why you should choose Geodesy” in bahasa,
there are a lot of people comment and ask me about Geodesy,its mean there are
little information about Geodesy in bahasa, and because of that, I get many new
friends from my blog.
Now I will try to give my opinion in English, why you shoul choose Geodesy.
Now I will try to give my opinion in English, why you shoul choose Geodesy.
1. There
are many jobs that need a surveyor or geodetic engineering graduates
A
surveyor can work in many work place. Surveyor can work in mining company, oil
and gas company, or construction company. And aslo geodetic engineering
graduates can be a navigator in survey vessel. In government, geodesy can
contribute in all jobs that releated to making a Maps.
2. Graduates
graduate geodetic still slightly, but job opportunities are very much.
The
reason number 2 maybe more suitable to Indonesia, because there are a few university that have the major geodesy. How about in the wold? I don’t
know many information about geodesy outside Indonesia. Maybe you know? So lets
share here J
3.
Good in salary
Maybe
many people fave a different view about the meaning “a good salary”, 1 milion
can be very much for some one, or can be very little for someone else. But become
a surveyor in oil and gas company, I think every one agree that surveyor in oil
and gas company have a good salary.
I Think that 3 reason why you should choose Geodesy. So, what you learn when you choose Geodesy or surveying? In Indonesia, I learn how to measure distance and angle, how to make a map. Geodesy also learned orbit satellite, measure using Global Positioning System. I also learned hydrographic survey, Geographic Information System, Map Projection,fotogrametri, remote sensing, and many more that related to making a maps.
I think that all about
my opinion for Geodesy, and how about you? What you lernd in Geodesy?

It was great to read the reasons to study the Geodesy from somebody who have graduated, aren't you? I am from Estonia and started to learn it from this Autumn. I've finished only one semester by now, but I don't regret my decision to study this. Actually I had no idea that such a thing like Geodesy exist when I was at my final year in the high school. I accidentally found it from the list of the subjects that university teaches. Geodesy could be studied in two universities over here, in Estonia. And there isn't that much wanters. So, it makes my life easier to get a job. :D I don't worry about that. I was actually wondering does a geodesist must know all the one hundred formulas by heart that are being written in the geodesy text book? Well, textbooks are different in each country, but that is sth I thought about and at one point it could be quite tricky.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I hope that in 3 years I'll be working as a geodesist as well =)
Dear Anonim
DeleteThanks for your comment in my blog, you a the first person who give a comment in my blog outside Indonesia. Can i know your name or your email? I want to have a disccusion with the other student who have learn geodesy.
I am still a student in geodesy, now i am in third year in Geodesy, and iam really enjoy studi geodesy. In Indonesia there are 4 biggest university who have a geodesy in their departmen.
Well, i have learned so many formula in geodesy, but i try to learnd the concept, and it make me more easy to learnd the formula.
I hope we can have more discuusion again about geodesy, if u want please contact me by email : saptahadi9@gmail.com.
Greeting from Indonesia
Best Regard
