Engineering TechnologyDescription of the Programme
Geospatial engineers use new and developing technologies such as GPS, satellite imagery, laser scanning and fast computing to create complex layers of interconnected geographic information. They accurately measure positions, do mapping and can visualize the natural and built environment in 3D. The programme encompasses GIS, Web-GIS, satellite imagery, databases, computer graphics, remote sensing and global positioning systems. Students will acquire skills in digital mapping, satelling/airborne image manipulation, building geoweb and mobile applications, setting up geoinformation systems (GIS), spatial analysis, satellite imagery and earth observation. They will be trained to create 3-D maps based on terrestrial or geographic data, employing advanced technologies such as spatial information software, earth observation systems, global navigation satellite systems, laser and radar imaging sensors among others. You will study geospatial concepts including measurements, modeling, data collection and acquisition techniques, maps and mapping technologies, data and metadata formats and visualization.
