Stream Outline
As geoinformation is increasingly being integrated into business, government and personal decision making, the tools and skills of geoinformation specialists are finding wider application. Geoinformation technologies encompass geographic information systems (GIS), Web-GIS, satellite imagery, databases, computer graphics, remote sensing and global positioning systems (GPS).
The BE in Geoinformation Systems aims to nurture geospatial-IT-literate graduates with the appropriate mix of skills for the new digital geoinformation industries that require graduates able to construct digital maps, manipulate satellite/airborne images, build geoweb and mobile applications, set up GIS, monitor environmental parameters, and so on.
Note
Geoinformation systems is also available as a component of the dual degree program
BE(Geoinf)/BA program 3704
For other dual degrees please check with the School for more details.
