Bachelor of Engineering (Geomatic) is a 4 year full time programme, carried out for a duration of 8 semesters in the Department of Geomatic Engineering. Each semester, students are offered to register between 12-18 credits of academic load with a total of 133 credits to complete the programme. Sixty percent of the total credits are core subjects such as Geodesy, Cadastre, GPS, Hydrography and Photogrammetry while 25% are elective courses. Fifteen percent are courses related to humanity and general university courses.

Students who are registered to this programme are requested to enroll for 133 credit points throughout 4 years (8 semesters) of full time study.

Students will undergo practical training for two weeks known as Survey Camp programme (SGHU 2901) during long holiday period, and have to attend Industrial Training for one semester.

During the Industrial Training, students will be stationed at the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (JUPEM) and Licensed Land Surveyors Company for 1 semester (i.e 15 weeks). Students will be exposed to several surveying and mapping activities. Final year students will be required to accomplish Final Year Project, which is equivalent to 6 credits.

The distribution of credit points are as follows:
No.           Course Category         Credit Total                   Percentage (%)
1.              Core Programme                      80                                 60
2.              Elective Subjects                      33                                 25

                  Total                                      133                                100

The Department of Geomatic Engineering is well equipped with the latest technology equipments for the following areas:
• Engineering and Cadastral Survey
• Hydrography
• Geodesy and Astronomy
• Land Information System
• Industrial Surveying

Geomatic Engineering covers wide area of disciplines and many graduates joint land development and management companies that provide the survey for land ownership. Some graduates involved in land resource management,remote sensing for environment, engineering survey for construction, deformation monitoring, hydrographic survey for oil & gas exploration, and also in geographic information system (GIS).
