Geomatics Engineering

IMPORTANT NOTICE: With the decision of the Higher Education Executive Board meeting dated 22/11/2023, the name of our department has been changed to Surveying Engineering. 

The scope and nature of Geomatics Engineering has developed especially in recent years in terms of the use of space and information technologies. Geomatics engineering is a branch of science that deals with the measurement of spatial and physical parameters of the objects that make up the Earth and Space with advanced engineering methods, storage in databases, analysis and presentation of the final products. Surveying engineering uses a variety of measurement techniques ranging from satellite-based radio waves to micron-level laser and optical measurements.

Among the fastest growing sectors in the world, Geomatics Engineering technology includes

  • Geodesy
  • Measurement Technique,
  • Photogrammetry
  • Remote Sensing,
  • Global Navigation Satellite Systems,
  • Geographic Information Systems,
  • Cartography
  • Public Surveying

and the wide range of applications of these disciplines.
