Architects, Surveyors, and Cartographers

Architects, Surveyors, and Cartographers

An architect is a person who plans, designs and reviews the construction of buildings, while surveyors determine the terrestrial or three dimensional positions of points and the distances and angles between them, required for the planning and execution of most forms of construction. A cartographer is involved in the study and practice of making maps. This pathway includes the research, preparation and evaluation of maps and other spatial data, taking measurements of properties, and the planning and designing of structures and land areas for residences, office buildings, theaters, airports, highways, hospitals etc.

Engineers

Engineers

The Engineering pathway encompasses a broad range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied mathematics, applied science, and types of application. Engineers design, invent, build, analyze and test systems, machines, structures and materials to fulfill specific requirements within the bounds of regulation, practicality, cost and safety issues. They form a link between scientific discoveries and their practical applications for humans, business needs and improving the general quality of life.

Drafters, Engineering Technicians, and Mapping Technicians

Drafters, Engineering Technicians, and Mapping Technicians

Drafters, Engineering Technicians, and Mapping Technicians include workers who provide critical support services to scientists, surveyors, engineers and other such professionals. They use principles of engineering and science to provide assistance in the production and development of computers, infrastructure, and pharmaceuticals among other products. Depending on their specific field of work, these technicians may be required to prepare detailed drawings and diagrams, operate and maintain equipment, machinery and components, calibrate measurement devices and perform surveying and mapping duties etc. Historically, the vast majority of workers in this pathway are men.
