Advising Notes
- Courses in engineering, computer science, mathematics, the physical sciences, and mandatory technical courses taken CR/NC are not counted toward fulfillment of degree requirements in geomatics engineering.
- All geomatics engineering students must consult with their academic advisers at least once each year.
- The geomatics engineer major curriculum is very demanding. Many students, especially those not fully prepared in mathematics and physics take 412 or more years to graduate rather than the traditional four years. If necessary, students may go to the Learning Resource Center in the Keats Building and request tutorial assistance.
- The upper-division writing skills requirement can be met by passing
the university examination or by completing I E 182W with a letter grade
of C or higher no sooner than the term in which 60 units of coursework
are completed.
