Geomatics/Surveying Engineering Technology (Co-op) [College of the North Atlantic, CNA]

Geomatics is the art and science of acquiring, analyzing, presenting, and managing geographical and spatial data. Geomatics includes the traditional surveying and mapping sciences together with new study areas such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and the satellite controlled positioning system the Global Positioning Systems (GPS). With the development of off-shore petroleum, management of the fishery, infrastructure and hydro development and the resulting expansion in the construction industry, the need for more and better trained Geomatics/Surveying Engineering Technologists becomes apparent.
