It was a great day for the GEGIS and GIS students from Kimathi University as they got a chance to visit the Survey of Kenya in Nairobi.This was an academic activity to enable them interact with the industry.The sections visited was the Cartography section,photogrammetry(both the analog and digital sections),cadastral survey section and the GIS section.This is where you get to appreciate the roles of these fields in the society.
Photogrammetry is the practice of determining the geometric properties of objects from photographic images. In the photogrammetry section we were able to have a look at the analog systems and the digital systems.This includes the transition from the analog practices to the digital systems.The equipments here included the stereoplotters of different kinds.
Cartography is the science and practice of making maps.The students were able to know the map production process from the ground level (field level) until you get the final maps of an area.
In the cadastral section we were able to visualize how land is surveyed and title deeds are dealt with.
This is the identification of the land/plots in kenya.
The students were able to grasp a lot pertaining the field and they had a chance to appreciate the current status of GIS and MAP MAKING in Kenya.There was a better interaction between the staff members and the students in the organisation and their interaction and willingness to help the students was so good.We thank SOK very much for their time for us and their willingness to show us what really happens in the industry.
