BSc in Geomatics Engineering in Fresno United States | California State University, Fresno

Geomatics engineers oversee the worldwide spatial framework. Their responsibilities encompass defining property boundaries, creating digital maps, working with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), utilizing Global Positioning Systems (GPS), employing remote sensing, producing photogrammetric maps, developing applications, managing projects, and conducting construction layout. Students gain hands-on experience with various specialized tools while building a strong theoretical foundation. Design principles in geomatics engineering are woven into a series of courses across the program. A significant design emphasis in the final year serves as a capstone experience. Courses with design elements are: Computer-Aided Mapping (GME 66) in the first year, Route and Construction Surveying (GME 40) in the second year, Stereophotogrammetry (GME 123) and Digital Mapping (GME 126) in the third year, and Subdivision Design (GME 159) along with two advanced technical design courses—Senior Project (GME 180) and Project Design (GME 181)—in the senior year.

Civil engineering involves the investigation, advancement, planning, design, building, and upkeep related to urban development, water systems, structures, energy production and distribution, water treatment and waste management, and transportation networks. Civil engineers ensure the functionality and safety of public infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, dams, pipelines, power plants, roads, and ports, and focus on safeguarding the public from natural disasters including earthquakes, floods, landslides, and fires.
