Geomatics Engineering at York University

About

Blend your knowledge of science and engineering with information technologies to solve complex, real-world issues such as tracking a vehicle? location within a city or determining land use from a satellite image. Focus on the technologies related to positioning and navigation, sensors, measurements and mapping, as well as on spatial awareness and intelligence. Our Geomatics Engineering program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). What Youâll Learn We will get you started with the basics in geomatics, surveying and mapping, navigation, sensors, and measurements to assist in building a strong foundation in the discipline. In third and fourth year, you will take Geodesy, Advanced Surveying, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Measurement Theory and Estimation, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry, Survey Law and Land Registration Systems, Advanced 3D Techniques, Mobile GIS and Location-based Services, Sensor Integration and Advanced Field Surveys courses. You will learn and use advanced state-of-the-art instruments while putting your professional skills to the test. To top it off, the co-op program after second year allows you to gain professional experience, giving you a head start towards becoming a licensed Professional Engineer. Some Courses You'll Take Advanced Field Surveys Global Geophysics and Geodesy GIS and Spatial Analysis Global Positioning Systems Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Digital Image Processing for Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing Cadastral Surveys and Land Registration Systems Digital Terrain Modelling Career Paths Include Geospatial Engineer Mission Systems Engineer Navigation and Position Systems Engineer Mobil Mapping Specialist Cadastral Land Surveyor A graduate of the Geomatics Engineering stream may also be qualified for certification by the Association of Ontario Land Surveyors (AOLS) as an Ontario Land Surveyor (OLS) and (equivalently) an Ontario Land Information Professional (OLIP).
