Washington, D. C. – Capital of the USA
Washington was created to be the seat of government of the USA. You know that the flag of the USA, the Stars and Stripes, has fifty stars on a blue background. Each of these stars represents one of the fifty states. But the City of Washington is not in any of these states. It occupies the District of Columbia, abbreviated into D. C. and the name of the capital always goes with this abbreviation not to be mixed up with another Washington, which is a state on the Pacific Coast. The District of Columbia is between the states of Virginia and Maryland, on the Potomac River not far from the Atlantic Ocean.
It is one hundred square miles. This area is not a state and is not municipality, but Federal land. President Washington in whose honour the city was named took an active part in selecting the area of the District of Columbia. He called upon a famous French engineer named Pierra Charles L’Enfant. The population of Washington, D. C., is about 756.000 and together with the Suburbs its population is over 2.800.000.
Washington is like no other city of the USA. New York is a centre finance, of shipping, of fun; New Orleans deals in Cotton; Chicago will sell you wheat and a hundred heads of cattle. But Washington’s only industry is government. The White House here the US President lives and works, the Capitol, the home of the US Congress, and the Supreme Court are all in Washington, D. C. Washington’s street seems at first to be complicated, but it is not so bad as it seems and, in fact, is quite orderly and logical once a few basic rules have been learned.
The first is that the Capitol Building is the city’s central point. From this centre the City is divided into four sections or quadrants: North West, North East, South West and South East which are usually abbreviated N.W, N.E., S.W. and S.E. The Capitol is also the point from which the city’s streets are numbered or lettered. The streets east and west of the Capitol are numbered 1st Street, 2nd Street and so on. Similarly the Streets to the north and the south are named for letters of the alphabet. G Street, K Street, etc.
This simple plan of numbered and lettered streets is made somewhat more complicated by a handful of broad avenues, all named after the original thirteen American States.

My specialty
The demand for engineers graduating from our faculty is dictated by time. In the region today engineers specialized in municipal cadastre are lacking in numbers, so it is no surprise that 100 % of our graduates are employed. Many of them get a job as engineers already on 4 year of their studies and after graduation the same company or plant hire them full time.
The choice of the future profession is one of the most important decisions in a person’s life. It is especially important nowadays, when the life has become very active and dynamic, so that it is impossible to waste your time on things you have no interest in. The person entering this honorable profession must have a scientific attitude, imagination, initiative and good judgment obtained by experience and serious work. Future specialists obtain general and deep knowledge in human sciences and technology, they have a chance to get more knowledge/skills in such areas as expert evaluation and management of property, computer graphic design and others. Beginning from the first course, the faculty students have practical assignments in information science, soil science, geodesy, photogrammetry by doing this our students can considerably improve their future employment opportunities. Laboratories and studying rooms of the chair are fitted with modern computers, advanced apparatuses and instruments including unique laboratory complexes of digital cartography and photogrammetry. Also students of our faculty take an active part in sporting and culture events.
