Master of Science (Geomatic Engineering)
Intoduction
The Master of Science (Geomatics Engineering) course consists of 6 core courses, 3 elective courses and 1 University course. The elective courses are divided into two specializations (Survey & Mapping, and Utility Mapping). In addition to these subjects, students are required to submit a Master Project worth of 8 credits. To graduate, students must complete a total of 45 credits and they are assessed through assignments, presentations and final examination.
Courses
| Course Code | Course Name | Synopsis |
| MGHU 1014 | Geomatic Positioning | The course is design to give comprehensive knowledge on the concepts, techniques and procedures in satellite navigation, satellite surveying. New technologies and development in GNSS are explained |
| MGHU 1024 | Geomatic Data Analysis | The course is design to give comprehensive knowledge on the concepts, techniques and procedures in geospatial adjustment. Trends and new technology in modern least squares technique and its applications are discussed |
| MGHU 1034 | Advance Mapping | The course is design to give comprehensive knowledge on the concepts, techniques and procedures in advance mapping. Trends and new technology in advance mapping and analytical processing are explained such as close range photogrammetry, terrestrial laser scanning and others. |
| MGHU 1043 | Geomatic Project Management | This subject introduces students to the discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific goals and objectives in Geomatic project. These include project initiation stage, project planning or design (estimating time and cost for project activities; developing the schedule; developing the budget; risk planning), project implementation, project monitoring and controlling system (the element of a project that keeps it on-track/time and within budget). Also the students will learn about the role of project manager, project variables, corrective actions identification, risk factors, etc), project output/delivery and cost-benefit analyses. At the end of this course, students will be able to understand the process flow of Geomatic project management. |
