College Diploma - Engineering Technology - First Year to Geomatics/Surveying Engineering Technology (Co-op) (Transfer to Ridge Road Campus)

Engineering Technology:

The college offers a common first year in Engineering Technology. This allows students to complete the first two semesters of the engineering technology program that they have been accepted to. After completing the first two semesters, students must enter the campus which offers the program of their choice to complete the seven week Intersession (May, June), and the subsequent years of their program.

Geomatics/Surveying Engineering Technology:

Geomatics is a multidisciplinary field of study encompassing a wide range of diverse subjects including; GNSS, astronomical navigation, acoustics, GIS analysis, spatial data management, aerial photography, map design, cadastral and construction surveying, remote sensing and image analysis, geodetic control surveys and network design. These topics are based on a firm foundation in the sciences of mathematics and physics, an understanding of statue and common law, communications and economics. 

Upon successful completion of the Geomatics/Surveying Engineering Technology program the graduate will be able to:

• Collect, analyze, manage and distribute of spatial information as per standard industry practices.
• Apply professional and quality assurance standards to execute Geomatics project activities for delivery in response to the need of the private and public industry.
• Utilize industry standards and specifications to analyze the positional accurance of measurement systems in preparing land records and engineering drawings.
• Utilize an appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of Geomatics.
• Adapt to the emerging applications and equipment within the Geomatics field.
• Apply theory and practical experience in branches of the Geomatics Industry including: Plane Surveying, Cadastral, Marine Surveying, GIS, Photogrammetry, and Construction Surveying.

Note: Students will spend their first two semesters at Gander campus before transferring to Ridge Road campus to complete the rest of their degree.
