The information and program qualifications related to the Geomatics Engineering Bachelor of Science Program, under the Department of Geomatics Engineering of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, are summarized below.
Information About The Program
The Department of Geomatics Engineering was founded in 1969 as the Department of Geodesy and Photogrammetry Engineering as one of the three departments of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Istanbul Technical University. The department was renamed Geomatics Engineering in 2009. 110 students are accepted to the department each year through the Higher Education Institutions (YKS) Exam. Students earn the title of “Geomatics Engineer” by taking a total of 132 credits of courses and doing an engineering internship during their 4-year undergraduate education (+1 year English Preparatory Program). Students of the department can earn a second-branch undergraduate degree in any department of our university through the Double Major Program (DMP) during their undergraduate education.
The Department of Geomatics Engineering has been accredited by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) since 2004 and is the only department in our country with this feature in its field. The Department of Geomatics Engineering has been following the change process of the equivalent programs of the world's advanced universities for a long time. It continues its course programs and content renewal studies. Geomatics Engineering constitutes an important field of study in the information age.
Information about the Earth and the position of structures, objects, and events on it is called geographical information or spatial information. The two or three-dimensional coordinate systems derived from the geometric and physical parameters of the ground sphere form the basis for the said location information. The subjects of Geodesy, Photogrammetry, Surveying, Cartography, and Remote Sensing, as well as spatial/geographical information, include the processes and techniques for analyzing, monitoring, visualizing, transforming, storing, managing, assuring the quality, and generating new information from the data and observations. Geomatics Engineering also includes the subjects of the cadaster, real estate valuation, and development as well as land management, and land/urban information system regulations which are established related to these subjects.
