- effectively use and manipulate all Geoinformation instruments;
- coordinate the execution of cadastral surveying from boundary definition to the production of the title deed;
- produce maps from satellite imagery;
- use all geospatial data processing and presentation softwares;
- analyse geospatial data and use them for further problem-solving tasks;
- prepare project costing and estimate;
- develop Geographic Information Systems (GIS), geo-database systems, and data modelling;
- carry out digital image processing
- carry out monitoring and deformation studies on earth-based structures;
- carry out small and large scale mapping of any terrain;
- develop a detailed topographic information system;
- carry out a detailed route survey for adequate road design; and
- execute high precision navigation and positioning.
