Difference between Surveying and Mapping Engineering and Civil Engineering

Civil engineering refers to the application of materials, equipment and technical activities such as survey, design, construction, maintenance and repair, and also refers to the object of engineering construction.

Surveying and mapping engineering measures all kinds of information of space and the earth and draws all kinds of topographic maps. Taking the shape, size and gravity field of the earth and other planets as the research object, the research and mapping objects are very extensive, mainly including various surface features, landforms, underground geological structures, hydrology and mineral deposits, such as mountains, rivers, houses, roads and vegetation.

2. Different coverage:

Civil engineering refers to all kinds of engineering facilities built on the ground or underground that directly or indirectly serve human life, production, military and scientific research, such as houses, roads, railways, pipelines, tunnels, bridges, canals, dams, ports, power stations, airports, offshore platforms, water supply and drainage, protection works, etc.

Surveying and mapping engineering usually requires surveying and mapping engineers to measure, draw topographic maps and provide other information before decision-making, planning and design, so surveying and mapping work is very important. Common maps and traffic maps are all completed on the basis of surveying and mapping.

Extended data:

The purpose of civil engineering is to form a well-functioning, comfortable and beautiful space and passage needed by human production or life.

It is both a material need and a symbolic spiritual need. With the development of society, the engineering structure is becoming more and more complex, and super-high-rise buildings, super-large bridges, giant dams and complex subway systems are constantly emerging, which not only meet people's living needs, but also evolve into a symbol of social strength.

The fundamental problem to be solved in civil engineering is the safety of the project, so that the structure can resist various natural or man-made forces. Any engineering structure must bear its own weight, as well as the use load, wind and humidity changes will also produce forces on civil engineering structures.

In the earthquake area, civil engineering structures should also consider earthquake resistance. In addition, the impact of explosion and vibration on civil engineering can not be ignored.
