Check
out the Geomatics major at the University of Florida.
Geomatics
deals with the development and management of Earth-based
data. Data is gathered using tools such as satellites,
air and sea borne sensors, and ground based instruments.
Data are then manipulated and analyzed using advanced
computer systems. Geomatics students learn how the Earth
is measured, how the Earth-based data is analyzed and
how this data is integrated into forms and systems that
people can use. Students gain hands-on experience working
with field equipment and in high tech classrooms. The
Geomatics major at UF is accredited by the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and is the
only program of its kind in the state.
