PRACTICE
The Department of Geodesy and Cartography conducts professional practice in all four bachelor's and second-year master's courses.
In the first year, students undergo training practice at the training grounds of ENU, the Tumar UOC, Zerendinsky district, Akmola region, where students work with such geodetic instruments as a level, theodolite, total station, etc.
The main bases of practices are JSC "Kazakhstan Garysh Sapary", LLP "PPI "Kazdorproekt", RSE "National Center of Geodesy and Spatial Information", LLP "KazAeroSpace", LLP "Center of Unmanned Systems Kazakhstan", LLP "Nadir", LLP "HERE Kazakhstan", LLP "Koldau", LLP "GeoTerr", KAZGISA LLP. Students also study at other enterprises, including such large, well-established enterprises as the construction holding "Build Investments Group" (BI Group), LLP "SK Basis", as well as other organizations throughout Kazakhstan.

Educational practice
The purpose of the training practice for 1st year students is to acquire practical skills of working with geodetic instruments in the composition under the guidance of the head of the practice.
Practice tasks:
- consolidation and development of theoretical knowledge obtained by students at the university by solving geodetic problems in an open area where practical training is carried out;
- study of the work of the main geodetic instruments, familiarization with measures for invention, rationalization and safety
Production (2nd and 3rd courses) practices
The purpose of the practice is to further deepen and consolidate the knowledge of the specialty by students, to study the methods of conducting engineering and geodetic works. The practical training of students of the specialty "Geodesy and Cartography" is an important part of the training of highly qualified engineers-surveyors.
The task of the production practice is to master the production skills and advanced methods of geodetic works. During the internship, students gain experience in technical, organizational and social work. An important part of the practice is the collection of materials for the preparation of a technical report and the subsequent development of a diploma project.
Pre-graduate practice
The objectives of the pre-graduate practice are
- deepening and consolidation of theoretical knowledge gained in the learning process
- acquisition of the necessary professional skills to work in the relevant geodetic and cartographic institutions,
- mastery of methods and techniques of forecasting, analysis, regulation, planning and other issues related to the activities of these structures,
- collection of material necessary for writing a thesis.
The tasks of pre-graduate practice in the organization include:
1) familiarization with the organization (enterprise), its structure, the main functions of production and management units;
2) study of the principles and methods of work in the organization, taking into account the specifics of job descriptions;
3) study of regulatory documents and software tools used at the enterprise;
4) practical work in a specific position in the organization;
5) selection and systematization of the material for the completion of the thesis;
6) preparation and writing of a report on the passage of industrial practice in the institution.

PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE
The purpose of pedagogical practice is the acquisition by undergraduates of the experience of practical pedagogical activity in the profile of the received specialty.
Tasks of pedagogical practice:
The tasks of pedagogical practice correlate with the following types and tasks of pedagogical activity of a graduate student:
- preparation and conduct of classes in geodesic and socio-humanitarian disciplines in higher educational institutions;
- organization of the pedagogical process, independent preparation of pedagogical programs, pedagogical and methodological documentation for courses.
The objectives of pedagogical practice are:
- Improvement of psychological and pedagogical and special (subject-specific) knowledge of undergraduates in the process of their application to the implementation of the pedagogical process;
- Development of undergraduates' ideas about the work of modern educational institutions (mainly universities), the specifics of educational programs, the activities of teaching teams, the functional responsibilities of representatives of administrative and pedagogical corps of co-workers, traditions and innovations in the organization of work;
- Formation of pedagogical skills among undergraduates:
- related to the diagnosis of the quality of knowledge and skills of trainees, the level of their upbringing, with the study of the gender, age and individual characteristics of students, identifying the characteristics of the development of a group of students, with the analysis of the experience of other trainees, introspection of pedagogical activity;
- projective, providing planning of pedagogical and educational work, preparation of lecture notes and seminars and extracurricular activities, selection of forms and methods of teaching and upbringing appropriate to the characteristics of students, educational technologies;
- organizational, aimed at carrying out their own pedagogical activities and at directing the active activities of students, developing their initiative and independence;
- communicative, related to the communication of a master's student-intern with students and colleagues (their comrades, teachers, methodologists);
- Development of undergraduates' interest in pedagogical activity, creative attitude to pedagogical work at the university;
- Development of pedagogical abilities of undergraduates (expressive-speech, didactic, suggestive, perceptive, etc.), as well as pedagogically significant qualities of the teacher's personality (disposition to undergraduates, self-control, pedagogical tact, etc.).
EMPLOYMENT
The department "Geodesy and cartography" has good indicators on employment. The main employers are "Kazakhstan karysh sapary" NK "JSC," Here Kazakhstan "LLP," Nadir "LLP," BI Group "LLP. In each academic year, planned and non-planned activities take place. For example, a meeting with employers, round tables, creating a database on graduates, sending out summaries, organizing job fairs, distributing graduates to places of work, etc. According to the plan of the university and faculty, graduates and curators take part in various events. At the end of the year, a full report on working with employers in the Career and Business Department is submitted.
Also, thanks to close cooperation with alumni and employers, it was possible to determine the level of the university in the international QS rating using the questionnaire of the faculty.
