Geospatial Engineering Surveyor Award Nominations
Nominations for the Geospatial Engineering Surveyor Award for 2004 are now being accepted by the Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (ICES).
The IESSG is part of the University's School of Civil Engineering.
The ICES accredits two of the courses offered by the School, namely the BEng Civil Engineering (Full Survey Option) and MEng Civil Engineering (Full Survey Option).
It has established a reputation as a successful and renowned centre, which focuses its interests on surveying and geodesy, but mainly, though not exclusively, on Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and other satellite positioning systems.
The IESSG focuses in particular on postgraduate work.
Gethin has been teaching at the University for ten years.
He is the director of the MSc in Geodetic Surveying, supervises a number of PhD students who are concentrating their research in the field of engineering surveying, mainly applying kinematic GPS, and is involved with the admissions onto the civil engineering degree course.
Gethin will make a valuable contribution to the development and implementation of the Institution's Education, Training and Membership policies by sharing his knowledge of civil engineering courses organised within the UK and from participation in other industry related bodies.
