Civil engineering students of Quantum University had an industrial visit to Survey of India Museum in Dehradun. The museum showcased the historical evolution of mapping and surveying in India, emphasizing the significance of accurate measurements and maps in various historical contexts.
Students had hands-on exposure to surveying instruments, from theodolites to modern GPS equipment, learning their principles and applications in civil engineering. They also explored the development of mapping techniques, from hand-drawn maps to digital mapping, understanding their importance in urban planning and infrastructure development.
This educational trip provided valuable insights, bridging theory and practice for the students, and fostering a deeper appreciation for the role of geospatial sciences in civil engineering.
