Bachelor of Geomatic Engineering

THERE IS NO FURTHER ENTRY INTO THIS COURSE

Students wishing to study Geomatic Engineering need to enrol in a Bachelor of Environments or Bachelor of Science

Students who commenced 4th year of this course in 2010 and have not completed, or have failed the fourth year subjects required, should speak to a course advisor.

Geomatics is three-dimensional measurement, mapping and visualisation and is one of the fastest growing industry sectors in the world. Land surveying and spatial information science are disciplines covered in Geomatics and it is therefore ideally suited to students who have an interest in the management of the environment, information technology, computing and computer graphics, mathematics or working outdoors. Pathways to a professional degree in Geomatics (Land Surveying/Spatial Information Science) are through the Bachelor of Environments (BEnv) or the Bachelor of Science (BSc).

Students who have completed a three year BEnv or BSc with a major in Geomatics can continue on to the professional Masters of Engineering (Geomatics). Students then undertake studies in advanced measurement sciences, remote sensing, spatial analysis, photogrammetry, land administration, cadastral surveying, land law, professional development and and a comprehensive research project,. The whole five year program for Geomatics is accredited by Engineers Australia and accreditation is pending for the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Surveyors Registration Board, Victoria.

THE COURSE STRUCTURE BELOW ONLY APPLIES TO RE-ENROLLING STUDENTS WHO COMMENCED THEIR STUDIES PRIOR TO 2008

The recommended or standard course structures are listed below. When setting the timetable every effort will be made to avoid clashes between the times of classes associated with these sets of subjects. Students should be aware however, that if it proves to be impossible to achieve a timetable without clashes in these sets of subjects, the School reserves the right to modify course structures in order to eliminate the conflicts. Students will be advised during the enrolment period of the semester if the recommended courses need to be varied. Where the courses include elective subjects these should be chosen so that timetable clashes are avoided. In particular, students in combined degrees should plan their courses so that the subjects chosen in the other faculty do not clash with those recommended for the engineering component.
