Course Objectives:
This course covers fundamental concepts, principles, scope and applications of
geomatics engineering approaches surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing,
geographic information system and global navigation satellite system. Students will
have the scope of geomatics engineering for applications in their related fields such as
natural resource management, environment, civil engineering, agriculture, forestry,
information system, etc., will be discussed. Students also acquire knowledge and skills
in map making and interpretation, and basic techniques of spatial data acquisition used
in geomatics engineering.
