Geomatics是在图像处理，数字摄影测量，遥感，基于卫星的全球定位，地理信息系统，基于无人机的地图绘制，激光扫描，测量和数字地图绘制中结合了尖端技术的新术语。此外，测绘工程可以涉及土地开发，建筑测量，法证测量，水文测量和空间数据分析的工作。在设计，开发和操作用于绘制有关陆地，海洋，我们的自然资源和人造特征信息的系统时，地理信息工程师可以从事多种工作。该计划的学生可以与其他工程和地球科学学科合作。该计划为学生提供了一个独特的环境，使学生为获得专业许可的土地测量原理和实践以及工程原理和实践考试做好准备。该
Geomatics is a new term incorporating cutting edge technology in image processing, digital photogrammetry, remote sensing, satellite-based global positioning, geographic information systems, drone based mapping, laser scanning, surveying and digital mapping. In addition, geomatics engineering can involve work in land development, construction surveying, forensic surveying, hydrographic surveying and spatial data analysis. Employment of geomatics engineers is projected to grow up to 15% from 2018 to 2028. Surveyors will continue to be needed to certify boundary lines, work on resource extraction projects, and review sites for construction. The geomatics engineering field is much more than just surveying, it includes geographic information systems, geospatial intelligence, photogrammetry, mapping, geodesy, remote sensing and reality capture using the latest imaging technology.
