Introduction:The Department of Geomatics and Surveying engineering
officially started its activities by accepting 36 undergraduate students in
1988 in the Faculty of Engineering. Since then, many students in the field of
geomatics and surveying engineering have graduated from this department. The
purpose of the bachelor of geomatics engineering course is to train experts who
have scientific knowledge and technical skills about accurate information of
the earth and its features, which are usually presented in the form of various
maps. This field with several tendencies divisions of geoscience has provided
the possibility of continuing education in higher levels. Currently, this department
trains specialized and committed personnel in the fields of: Remote Sensing;
Geodesy; GIS, and Photogrammetry at the master and doctoral levels. This
department has 5 educational and research laboratories, including; Laboratories
of digital cartography and GIS, photogrammetry, remote sensing,
instrumentation, processing and simulation of spatial data, and have completed
numerous research projects in various fields and have introduced new
technologies to the country.
Due to the brilliant history and scientific, educational and
research potential of the professors and students of the department of geomatics
engineering, this department has various research, professional and educational
collaborations with various governmental and non-governmental sector centers in
the country as well as scientific centers abroad. Also, due to the long history
of this department, a significant number of graduates are working in
industrial, research and academic units across the country. For example, we can
refer to more than 900 undergraduates, and 100 postgraduates of this department
until 2020.
