Geomatics Engineering is an academic discipline that concerns on acquisition,
analysis, and interpretation of mainly geomatics data, relating to the Earth, its
physical features and the built environment. It comprises tools and techniques of
measuring, managing, presenting and analysing geospatial data from diverse
sources with well-defined characteristics on accuracy and continuity; and in the
form of digital format. Geospatial data are obtained from a wide range of
technologically advanced tools like total station, Global Positioning System (GPS)
/ Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) equipment, digital aerial imagery
(form both satellite and airborne), Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS), Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (UAV), echo sounder and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). These
data are processed and manipulated by using a computer and the latest software.
Also included in the area of geospatial are computer-based Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing for monitoring the environment.
Bachelor of Geomatics Engineering with Honours is one of the oldest programme in
UTM. It was first introduced in the early 1970s. Prior to 1994, the programme was
known as Bachelor of Surveying (Land). This bachelor programme strives to deliver
a quality educational experience via emerging geomatics technologies towards
providing a significant contribution to the needs of the surveying and Geomatics
Engineering profession nationwide.
