The UNSW School of Surveying and Geospatial Engineering (SAGE), part of the UNSW Faculty of Engineering, was founded in 1970 and disestablished in 2013.〔http://www.recordkeeping.unsw.edu.au/documents/Surveying-A274.pdf〕 The School has undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Surveying and in GeoInformation Systems (GIS). The Bachelor of Engineering (Surveying) is recognised by the Surveying & Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI) as a pathway to becoming a registered surveyor, and both undergraduate degrees are accredited by Engineers Australia.〔http://www.ssis.unsw.edu.au〕 The School has strong research activity in wireless, ground-based and satellite-based positioning technology, being Australia’s largest academic research concentration in these areas.〔http://www.gmat.unsw.edu.au/snap〕 While the main research focus is Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as GPS, the School also conducts research under the broad banner of ‘Navigation and Earth Observation’ including in surveying, geodesy, inertial navigation systems, pseudolites, mobilephone positioning, integrated navigation and imaging systems, and radar remote sensing. The School has research and teaching links with institutions in North America, Europe and Asia, and School staff hold (or have held) leadership positions in international and national scientific and professional bodies such as the International Association of Geodesy,〔http://www.iag-aig.org〕 the International Society for Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing,〔http://www.isprs.org〕 the International GNSS Service,〔http://igs.org〕 Multi-GNSS Asia,〔http://www.multignss.asia〕 Surveying & Spatial Science Institute,〔http://www.sssi.org.au〕 the NSW Institution of Surveyors,〔http://www.surveyors.org.au〕 and others. ==History== The first independent undergraduate degree in surveying was established in 1957 in the UNSW School of Civil Engineering. Significant growth in the field led in 1970 to the establishment of an independent School of Surveying under founding Professor Peter Angus-Leppan.〔Loeffel, Robert, The History of the UNSW School of Surveying and Spatial Information Systems: 1949-2007, UNSW/Engineering, 2007, p 46.〕 In 1975, the School was divided into three departments, Geodesy, Photogrammetry, and Surveying, to take account of emerging technologies deriving from developments in electronics and space science, including satellite technology for geopositioning and remote sensing. A major Image Analysis Laboratory was installed in 1977 and the Centre for Remote Sensing (later known as the Centre for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)) was established in 1982, jointly with the UNSW Schools of Geography and Electrical Engineering.〔Loeffel, Robert, The History of the UNSW School of Surveying and Spatial Information Systems: 1949-2007, UNSW/Engineering, 2007, p 72-73.〕 From 1983 to 1992, a number of the School’s academics were engaged in the Thailand Land Titling Project. Funded by the Australian and Royal Thai Governments and the World Bank, this project worked to entirely remap Thailand and reform its land titling system in order to reduce poverty, overcome regional income disparities and promote economic growth. This project won The World Bank Group’s Excellence Award in 1997.〔Loeffel, Robert, The History of the UNSW School of Surveying and Spatial Information Systems: 1949-2007, UNSW/Engineering, 2007, p 75.〕 In 1978, the launch of the first GPS satellite saw a revolution in the way position is measured. GPS research commenced at the School in 1984 and in the early 1990s, under Professor Chris Rizos, all GPS-related research was organised under the Satellite Navigation and Positioning (SNAP) group and was expanded to encompass other navigation technologies and applications.〔Loeffel, Robert, The History of the UNSW School of Surveying and Spatial Information Systems: 1949-2007, UNSW/Engineering, 2007, p 110, 112, 137-38, 166.〕 In 1994 the School changed its name to the School of Geomatic Engineering to reflect its expansion of education and research beyond those of traditional surveying, to include remote sensing, geographic information analysis, image processing and satellite positioning. The name was never fully accepted within the NSW surveying profession, however, and there was a second name change in 2001 to Surveying and Spatial Information Systems.〔Loeffel, Robert, The History of the UNSW School of Surveying and Spatial Information Systems: 1949-2007, UNSW/Engineering, 2007, p 121.〕 In 2010, two separate undergraduate degrees were launched, a Bachelor of Engineering (GeoInformation Systems) and a Bachelor of Engineering (Surveying).〔http://www.ssis.unsw.edu.au〕 In 2012 the School was renamed the School of Surveying and Geospatial Engineering. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UNSW School of Surveying and Geospatial Engineering」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
