Surveying Engineering Students at UOD Develop Innovative 3D Campus Map and Mobile Navigation App
In a remarkable achievement that showcases the University of Duhok’s (UOD) commitment to innovation, digital transformation, and student-led research, a group of students from the Surveying Engineering Department at the College of Engineering has successfully designed a three-dimensional (3D) digital map of the university’s campus.
This state-of-the-art 3D map, developed as part of the students’ graduation project, offers a high-quality, interactive guide that allows students, faculty, and visitors to navigate the university with ease. Beyond a visual representation, the students have also developed a mobile application that provides a seamless experience for locating buildings, departments, and key facilities across the UOD campus.
A Technological Leap in Campus Navigation
The development of the 3D campus map and navigation app aligns with UOD’s Strategic Plan 2023–2038, particularly in the areas of digital transformation, smart campus initiatives, and student-led innovation. The project’s successful implementation highlights the university’s commitment to integrating advanced geospatial technologies into academic and practical applications.
The student team behind this pioneering project consists of:
- Rewan Adam
- Arkan Omar
- Silav Wahid
- Hezhan Malham
- Redir Bakhtiar
The project was supervised by Dr. Sarhat Mustafa, a faculty member at the College of Engineering, ensuring that the students applied cutting-edge surveying and mapping techniques to develop an accurate and user-friendly campus navigation tool.
Enhancing User Experience with Smart Campus Solutions
🎯 Key Features of the 3D Campus Map & Mobile App
