Kisbi said that the scientific day, which was organized under the title “Modern Surveying: Technology and Techniques”, confirms the importance of surveying and geomatics engineering, which is one of the key elements in the development of human infrastructure and the human environment, as it has become one of the important fields in human sciences and contributes to the urban and development progress of countries.
He added that the ministry of works is the main supporter and partner of the JEA, which is the largest incubator for engineers in the Kingdom, and a supporter of surveying engineers, as it managed to add the condition of having a surveying and geomatics engineer within the supervision and contractor cadre in road projects and government buildings.
