PHILOSOPHY

Implementation of this programme is guided by the need to provide leadership and stewardship in the acquisition, development and application of knowledge in geospatial engineering, to inspire rational and optimal use of land resources.

RATIONALE

This programme is a key contributor to the development of human resources for infrastructure development, physical planning, land administration and management, education and management and use of geospatial information by various government organizations and private business enterprises.

Goal of the Programme

The goal of this programme is to provide learners with the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills for collecting, storing, analysing, managing and disseminating geospatial information.

Expected Learning Outcomes

At the end of this programme, the learner should be able to:

1. Explain disciplines relevant for enabling and developing spatial concepts in Geospatial Engineering
2. Apply formal and theoretical foundation e.g. Physics, Maths and ICT in solving Geospatial Engineering Problems
3. Collect spatial data using various Geospatial techniques;
4. Process Geospatial data using various application tools.
5. Manage Geospatial Engineering projects and information using various techniques including LIMS, Web-Based tools, Mobile Application tools as well as visualization tools.  

 MODE OF DELIVERY

Face-to-Face Mode

This is through lectures and tutorials using notes, electronic presentations, instruction manuals, group discussions, practical laboratory demonstrations and fieldwork.

 Open, Distance Learning and e-Learning

In case of delivery through ODeL, special arrangements shall be made for the practical laboratory, field work and computing sessions. Where not feasible alternative arrangements will be made to do them on campus. 

Blended Learning

This is a hybrid of face to face with Open, Distance Learning and e-learning.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The broad objectives of this study can be stated as follows:

1. To impart to the students the necessary knowledge, skills and professional attitude demanded by the industry in the broad area of geospatial Engineering today and in the foreseeable future.
2. To lay the intellectual foundation necessary for our graduates to play their full roles in the evolution of Geospatial engineering
3. To introduce the students to other disciplines closely related to Geospatial Engineering in order for them to appreciate the interrelationships between Geospatial Engineering and the respective disciplines and to provide them with the opportunity to consider careers in the related disciplines should they desire.
4. To introduce the students to certain advanced topics in selected areas of Geospatial Engineering in order to motivate them towards further studies or specialized practice in those areas.
