Geodesists and geographical information systems specialists are needed not only for classical surveying and delimitation of borders, but also for urban planning and urban development, navigation and mapping. The study program “Geodäsie und Geoinformatik” (Geodesy and Geoinformatics) of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is closely linked to practice at a very early stage already and it has a long tradition: For more than 125 years now, surveying exercises have been organized in the Black Forest. This July again, student teams of KIT collect data for topographic maps, plan redistribution of property, and train precision surveying near a reservoir.
