Department of Geodesy and Cartography

At the end of the 50s of the XX century, the Akmola agricultural institute was established in the northern region of the Republic of Kazakhstan, consisting of the faculties of agronomy, Land Management (the first in Kazakhstan) and mechanization.

With the creation of the Faculty of Land Management, the Department of Geodesy was also created, and Doctor of Economic Sciences, Professor M. A. Handelman was elected as its head.

From 1997 to 2012, the department was headed by Ph.D., Associate Professor Nurzhumin E.K. During this period, the department updated and strengthened the base of geodetic instruments (1 electronic total station and 1 high-precision theodolite), as well as modern office equipment. In subsequent years, the department was headed by: Ph.D Beristenov A.T., Ph.D Kusainova G.D., Ph.D Toleubekova Z.Z. From 2021-2022, the Department of "Geodesy and Cartography" was headed by ass. prof., РhD Makenova S.K. From 2022-2024, the Department of "Geodesy and Cartography" was headed by РhD Tuyakbai A.S. Since this academic year, the head of the department, PhD Kusainova G.D.

Classroom fund of the Department

In March 2025, the
ceremonial opening of the specialized laboratory 6214, the specialized research
laboratory for Geomonitoring and remote sensing of the Earth 6213, as well as the
training center for UAV operators and technologies of Global navigation satellite
systems took place. All laboratories are equipped with modern equipment and
computers with the necessary software. The opening ceremony was attended by the
leadership of our university, as well as the heads of leading geodetic organizations
and employers.
Practical work, open classes, and various master classes are conducted in
these laboratories, where students learn the basics and principles of modern
equipment, gain skills in its use, and get acquainted with unmanned vehicles.
On March 28, 2025, the department hosted a relay race between students of
the UZRAiD faculty dedicated to the Day of the Surveyor. The guests were
invited, and the winners of the relay race were nominated.

On March 28, 2025, the Department of "Geodesy and cartography" held a
geodetic relay race among students "Еxplore the Earth, expand your horizons",
dedicated to the day of Land Management, Geodesy and cartography. 5 teams of
students of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th courses of the educational program 6B07302 -
"Geodesy and cartography" took part in the Geodetic relay race. Representatives of
partner enterprises "National Center for Geodesy and spatial information" branch
of RSE "Astanageodesia", LLP "Polycom", LLP "Kazaerspace", construction
company "Mabetex group" took part in the Geodetic relay race. In addition, within
the framework of Career Guidance work, students and teachers of the construction
technical college of Astana akimat were invited to participate in the Geodetic relay
race.
According to the results of the Geodetic relay:
Nomanation "Аccurate result" Zhumabek Nuradilet;
Nomanation "Best leader" Bainaruzov Rasul;
Nomanation "The best surveyor" Bolatbekovich Dastan;
Nomanation "The best cartographer" Ramazan Rinat;
1st place Team "Geonova";
2nd place team "Geomasters";
The 3rd place was taken by the team "Topostorm".
The Geodetic relay has been held for 2 years and is planned to be held
annually.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

To date, the university has concluded more than 170 treaties and 57 treaties with foreign scientists (Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Italy, Korea, Lithuania, Switzerland, Australia, Czech Republic, Russia, Malaysia, USA, Turkey, Belarus, Bulgaria, Austria).

To improve the educational program, the department has agreements on mutual cooperation with other Kazakh and foreign universities. Agreements on joint educational programs are concluded, which improves the organization of academic mobility of students.

To implement internal academic mobility, a contract was signed with Karaganda Technical University for the study of the discipline "modern Geodetic methods of remote sensing measurement" (Bachelor's degree in the EP"Geodesy and cartography").

A meeting with professors of the Berlin University of Applied Sciences was organized for students and teaching staff to implement DAAD programs.Boitla B. E. Reznikov.

On the basis of the signed agreement on domestic and international cooperation in 2023:

Academic mobility:

– In January-March 2023, 2 students of the EP" Geodesy and cartography "studied at Kazgas, Almaty;

– 1 student of the 3rd year with EKSTU. Shakarim studied in KATU, Semey;

– Annually together with Karaganda Technical University. A. Saginova online lectures on the discipline" Remote Sensing of the Earth "will be held for students of the 3rd year of the EP" Geodesy and cartography;

– External mobility of 3 students of the 2nd year of the Polish Technical University (Poland)is planned.

Dual training:

–For students of the Department" Geodesy and cartography "for dual training and professional practice, a memorandum was signed with the RSE on the PCV"National Center for Geodesy and spatial information;

–A memorandum was signed with JSC NC" Kazakhstan Garysh Sapary "for dual training and professional practice of students of the Department"Geodesy and cartography".

Since February 10, 2025, students of the 2nd and 3rd courses of the Kyrgyz National Agrarian University named after K.I. Scriabin, Bishkek, have been studying at the Department of Geodesy and Cartography as part of academic mobility.

For two weeks, students attended classes together with students of our department in the disciplines of "3D modeling in the AutoCAD system", "Satellite systems and positioning technologies", "Higher Geodesy". Various master classes, seminars and problem lectures were also held, where teachers of the department exchanged their experience and teaching methods. KNAU lecturer Borovskaya N.N. held a seminar on "The use of satellite systems in Kyrgyzstan."

In their free time, the guests of the department visited the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Baiterek Monument, the fair of working professions held in the building of the EXPO exhibition center, the Ailend Aquarium, the KATIU Museum and other attractions of the capital.
KNEU students left with positive impressions of their stay in our country. The guys have made many friends among their peers at our university.
