Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc in Eng)
Geomatics engineers ask questions such as: How can we position autonomous vehicles? How should location data for natural resources, healthcare and transportation be collected and managed? How can aerial and satellite images be captured and used to observe climate change?
Position yourself for success and balance high-tech skills with hands-on field work. Manage special data for everything from telecommunications to space research. Learn in class, during tutorials, in the field and on advanced-level design projects.
Geomatics Engineering is one of the fastest-growing engineering professions, dealing with the acquisition, analysis and management of spatial data. The skills you’ll gain will be in high demand in a wide range of industries. As a geomatics engineer, you’ll use a combination of design, computer and management skills to solve a variety of problems associated with spatial location. This program is fully accredited by both the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board and the Canadian Board of Examiners for Professional Surveyors.
This program features a common first-year, which consists of 10 courses in mathematics, sciences, computing, engineering principles, communications and design. These courses will provide you with a solid foundation for your engineering training, and introduce you to a variety of engineering disciplines. You'll apply for admission specifically to the geomatics engineering program at the end of your first year.
Polytechnic transfer pathway
Students with an approved diploma in geomatics engineering technology can earn their BSc in Geomatics Engineering in just three years through our polytechnic transfer pathway.
Gain real-world work experience while you learn with short- and long-term work placements available throughout your undergraduate degree. Opportunities are available through the Engineering Career Practicum, Engineering Internship Program and Industry Mentorship Program.
Stand out in a high-demand field. Graduates become geomatics engineers, entrepreneurs and research scientists.
Examples include Coordinate Systems; Geodesy, Remote Sensing; Geospatial Information Systems and Satellite Positioning.
Take your learning off campus by exploring one of our 200+ international opportunities. For example, in Geomatics Engineering you can go on exchange to Curtin University in Australia. We encourage you to check out UCalgary’s selection of programs.
You go to a 10-day-long survey camp out in Kananaskis. You’re learning and you also get to bond with your classmates.
