The geomatics engineering curriculum includes, among other courses, Geodesy and Map Projections, Geomatics, Photogrammetry and Digital Mapping, Spatial Data Management Systems, and Terrain Analysis. The curriculum focuses on modern spatial data management systems with applications in digital mapping, remote sensing, computer and communication techniques, and geospatial information systems.

Another strength of our geomatics engineering program is that it offers an optional co-op educational program that provides graduates with 20 months of work experience integrated into their academic program. Students wishing to be considered for this program should apply through this department for admission into the co-op program during the third semester of their program.
Students normally commence work terms upon completion of the second year of the program.
The optional co-op extends the program to five from four years. Graduation Students must successfully complete a minimum of four work terms to graduate. Each work term is assessed on the basis of the student's comprehensive written report of the work term and the employer's evaluation of the student's performance on the job. The co-op program enables students to earn prevailing wages for the level of responsibility and contribution of the jobs they perform, and thus finance at least part of their university education.
