Head of the Geomatics Engineering Department
Definition of Geomatics Engineering
Geomatics Engineering
is an engineering discipline that focuses on all processes related to spatial information, is constantly evolving, and is open to interdisciplinary interaction. This field encompasses the acquisition, processing, analysis, visualization, and management of spatial data. Spatial information is a fundamental element in combining data from different themes in spatial analysis and decision support systems.
Using their knowledge and skills in surveying (geodesy and photogrammetry), spatial data management, and engineering applications,
Geomatics Engineering
accurately identify, analyze, and model physical and artificial elements of the earth and its environment in a digital environment for evaluation in various engineering and planning projects.
In addition, the design, establishment, and management of spatial data infrastructures at the local, national, and global levels fall within the expertise of
Geomatics Engineers
.
Today, parallel to technological developments, this field intensively uses modern measurement and analysis tools such as:
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technologies,
Photogrammetric systems and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs),
Lidar and remote sensing techniques,
Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Thanks to these tools,
Geomatics Engineers
.
produce engineering solutions in many areas such as urban planning, infrastructure management, cadastre, transportation, energy, environmental management, disaster risk analysis, and defense technologies.
Sub-disciplines
The Department of Surveying Engineering, located within the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University, conducts education, research, and application activities under the following five sub-disciplines:
1. 🛰️ Surveying Techniques Sub-discipline
Conducts studies on terrestrial surveying methods, electronic measurement technologies, GNSS-based positioning, and engineering measurements.
2. ✈️ Photogrammetry Department
Focuses on the acquisition and processing of aerial photographs and satellite images, three-dimensional modeling, and digital map production.
3. 🗺️ Cartography Department
Works on map design, thematic maps, spatial visualization techniques, and geographic data presentation standards.
4. 🏛️ Public Surveying Department
Conducts education and research on cadastre, property law, zoning applications, expropriation, and land management.
5. 🌍 Geodesy Department
Deals with determining the shape, dimensions, mass distribution, and changes over time of the Earth. Satellite geodesy, network design, deformation analysis, and geodynamic studies fall within this scope.
These five departments form the basis of the academic structure of the department and complement each other in education, research projects, and industrial collaborations. Thus,
Geomatics
Engineering education gains a holistic approach in terms of both theoretical knowledge and practical field experience.
Laboratories and Physical Facilities
Our department has one Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Laboratory and one Surveying Laboratory.
The Remote Sensing and GIS Laboratory is equipped with a sufficient number of computers and licensed software.
The Surveying Laboratory houses up-to-date surveying equipment such as GNSS receivers, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), total stations, and levels.
These laboratories provide an infrastructure where students can apply their theoretical knowledge and gain experience with modern technologies.
In addition, our department has a sufficient number of faculty members and teaching staff to carry out educational and training activities. The academic staff provides strong educational support to students through both research and field applications.
Program Guide and Course Information
Detailed information about the contents of compulsory and elective courses in the
Geomatics
Engineering undergraduate program, weekly course distributions, teaching staff, and ECTS credits can be found in the “
Program Guide
” section.
This guide has been prepared to help students review their course plans throughout their education, plan their semester loads, and choose courses appropriate to their career goals.
