Welcome!
The Geomatics Engineering Program is part of the Department of Civil and Geomatics Engineering and Construction Management. Geomatics Engineers serve society by collecting, monitoring, archiving and maintaining our national spatial infrastructure. Geomatics systems include: real property boundary determination, aerial and digital mapping, land and geographic information systems (LIS/GIS), geodesy and geodetic surveying (GPS), remote sensing, environmental and resource mapping, Geomatics applications programming, project management, route design and construction location. While learning how to use a vast array of Geomatics tools a solid theoretical grounding prepares you for a recession proof Geomatics engineering career.
Program Activities
Students have numerous opportunities to increase their professional awareness and supplement their leadership skills. Active participation in the Fresno State Surveying and Photogrammetry Student Association (SPSA), ACSM, CLSA or ASPRS is encouraged. Students have the opportunity to become a committee chair or overall chairperson for the Annual Fresno Geomatics Conference. Student writers for the Fore Sight! magazine reach out to thousands of professionals twice a year. Excellent summer job opportunities abound in the public and private sector throughout California and the nation. Students may get involved with faculty sponsored research or volunteer to help an upper class-person conduct his or her senior project. Geomatics Engineering students earn ten times more scholarship support than other students
Launching Your Career
The curriculum provides a unique blend of practical and theoretical knowledge.
Laboratories support most of the classes. Students are immediately valuable
to prospective employers ensuring that you obtain a professional, career
focused job when you graduate. Graduates report excellent earnings growth
and careers that continually lead to more responsible leadership roles.
While many graduates have found work in the public sector or with utilities,
most graduates find exciting careers in the private sector with small,
medium or large engineering or surveying firms. While one such organization
has employed over 20 Fresno surveying graduates, many small surveying firms
have more than 50% Fresno graduates. All graduates find professional jobs.
Most graduates obtain professional licensure.
"The network of friends and fellow students I became acquainted with at Fresno State are the managers and leaders in the Geomatics profession in Northern California. I am very proud to be a gratue of the Geomatics Program at Fresno State." (Dennis Meyer, B.S. - Fall 1976)
