Founded in 1979 to support the mapping and land surveying needs in Western Canada, the Department of Geomatics Engineering (former Department of Surveying Engineering) at the University of Calgary has been a renowned international leader for innovation in education and research over four decades of rapid technological advancements. The department has kept pace with its outstanding achievements during a multi-stage transformation of the geomatics industry that disrupted and shifted the focus f...
Surveying has changed significantly in the last decade with the amount of new technology available to us. With the speed at which that technology is evolving and improving, the next decade will see an even greater onus on technological solutions that increase accuracy, limit risks in the field, and greatly improve efficiency. As a surveyor you will also be a technical specialist who understands how to utilize new equipment, technology, systems and software in the execution of your work.
