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 2011 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.

On completion of this course graduates should:

• Have a sound fundamental understanding of the scientific principles underlying technology
• Possess a broad knowledge base of their chosen discipline and of other disciplines to facilitate effective communication with those other professionals with whom engineers routinely communicate
• Be able to apply the basic principles underlying the management of physical, human and financial resources
• Have acquired the mathematical and computational skills necessary for the solution of theoretical and practical problems
• Possess analytical, problem-solving and design skills, including those appropriate for sustainable development
• Have verbal and written communication skills that enable them to contribute substantially to society
• Have acquired lifelong learning skills for further development professionally and for meeting future changes in technology
