Geoinformation is an area of technology for measuring, managing, presentation and analising the geospatial data relating the earth. Geospatial data are obtained from various sources including observation of satellites orbiting the earth, sensors that are in the air, sea and terrestrial instruments. These data are processed and manipulated using computer and latest softwares. Also included in the area of geospatial are the computer mapping, remote sensing for monitoring the environment and positioning as well as precise navigation using Global Positioning System (GPS).
PROGRAMME OUTLINE
Geomatics Engineering is an academic discipline that concerns on acquisition, analysis, and interpretation of mainly geospatial data, relating to the Earth, its physical features and the built environment. It comprises tools and techniques of measuring, managing, presenting and analysing geospatial data from diverse sources with well-defined characteristics on accuracy and continuity; and in the form of digital format. Geospatial data are obtained from a wide range of technologically advanced tools like total station, Global Positioning System (GPS) / Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) equipment, digital aerial imagery (from both satellite and airborne), Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS), Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), echo sounder and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). These data are processed and manipulated by using a computer and the latest software. Also included in the area of geospatial are computer-based Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing for monitoring the environment.
