Advisory board
The Department's Advisory Committee for the surveying, GIScience, mapping and mine and engineering surveying programs plays a major role in course restructuring and provides important advice on the content and philosophy of the academic program. It helps maintain productive links with government, industry and the professions, and is a valued component of the Department's operations. The Department is very grateful to the members of the Advisory Committee (listed below) for their contribution in 2009.
