Geodesic equations and their numerical solutions in geodetic and Cartesian coordinates on an oblate spheroid Most of the courses in surveying and geomatics engineering curriculum have been designed for the students to develop a progressively increasing knowledge base and related practical skills in specific fields, such as land surveying, geodetic surveying, GIS, photogrammetry, and so forth. In design and senior design classes, students learn how to synthesize the knowledge and skills acquired in several different courses toward the planning, design, implementation, and management of comprehensive geomatics engineering projects.

This requires that they understand the scope of work, correctly interpret the required standards and specifications for accuracy, and the scheduling and budgetary constraints. Students learn how to evaluate design requirements as well as economic and social considerations. A 2009 survey of books available reveals the lack of any text devoted to principles of design and professionalism in surveying and geomatics engineering.

This text, therefore, has been written to focus attention on (1) the overall project design process including scheduling and budgetary constraints; (2) standards and specifications for accuracy; (3) professionalism and ethical responsibilities; (4) policy, social, global, and environmental considerations; (5) project cost estimating process; and (6) writing of proposals in response to the request for proposal (RFP) process commonly used for soliciting professional geomatics engineering services. It is intended to introduce readers to some of the issues in solving modern geomatics engineering problems and to provide the practitioner with a frame of reference.
