Today’s students have access to a plethoraof digital information and are quickly adapting to new technologies. Addressing the continuingchallenges in maintaining students’ motivation and success requires new approaches to teachingintroductory topics in engineering courses. In typical engineering class, traditional teachingapproaches, such as chalkboard talks and PowerPoint presentations are often utilized, this oftenpresents the issue of unidirectional communication and passive learning.

Surveying engineering has a significant role in construction and highway projects,mapping and boundary determination, building information management, land informationmanagement, monitoring engineering structures, and more. Surveying makes use of manyrevolutionary technologies including Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), laserscanning, photogrammetry, and mapping using small unmanned aerial systems (sUASs).However, the surveying profession suffers from low public profile, making it difficult to attractstudents in surveying / geomatics programs, with many surveying programs experiencing lowenrollment. This issue has led to significant problems in the profession such as increasing theaverage age of surveyors, with unofficial
