| Description: | We offer intensive training in geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing (imaging from satellites, piloted aircraft and drones) and cartography. You will use geospatial data analysis to examine urban planning and transportation issues (e.g. infrastructure management, socio-economic mapping, business analysis and sustainability planning), ecosystem and environmental resource management (e.g. forestry, agriculture, water resources) and public health and security (e.g. geohazard mapping, disease spread, crime analysis). Become proficient in software tools like Google Earth and Earth Engine, ESRI ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS online, and QGIS. Work extensively with cutting-edge hardware tools and systems including GIS workstations, GNSS technology, camera systems, drones, smartphones and other mobile computing platforms. Gain field experience in Co-op and work placements. A Bachelor of Science in Geomatics is also available.
Your career: cartography and web-GIS; GIS or remote sensing analyst; land use and urban planning; natural resource management |
