In the recently concluded 2024 National College Students' Surveying and Mapping Discipline Innovation and Entrepreneurship Smart Competition, our college students once again achieved brilliance, winning one first-place award and one second-place award in the Programming and Development Contest for Surveying and Mapping Software, demonstrating the outstanding strength and innovation capability of the School of Resources and Environment in the field of surveying and mapping disciplines.

This competition was hosted by the Education Committee of the Chinese Society for Geodesy, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, organized by Dianxi University of Applied Sciences, and generously supported by the Southern Surveying and Mapping Group. The competition aims to promote the development of surveying and mapping disciplines in China, foster technological innovation in surveying and mapping, and cultivate more high-quality talents with practical abilities and innovative spirits. It attracted nearly 8,000 students from over 360 universities across the country, making the competition extremely fierce.

The competition at our university was organized by Associate Professor Bian Yuxia, with teachers such as Bian Yuxia, Yu Liang, Chu Yongbin, and Duan Yingjie leading the teams. Students from the 3S program participated in the competition. Through careful preparation and relentless efforts, the students stood out among numerous participating teams, demonstrating their profound skills and exceptional abilities in surveying and mapping techniques, development, and design. This achievement is not only the result of the joint efforts of our teachers and students, but also a testament to our college's long-standing emphasis on practical teaching and encouragement of students' participation in scientific and technological innovation activities.

We extend our warmest congratulations to all the award-winning students and express our gratitude to the hard work of the guiding teachers. These achievements will further inspire us to continuously explore and pursue excellence in the field of surveying and mapping disciplines.
