| Description | Geomatics combines computer science with geographic data analysis to devise data-driven solutions to complex problems, like mapping the response time of fire services and fire stations.
Learn to use tools such as remote sensing, computer mapping, geographic information systems (GIS), and GPS to analyze geographic data, understand spatial data, and make meaningful decisions. At the same time, you'll also learn the fundamentals of software design from Waterloo's computer science experts and have the opportunity to apply your knowledge and gain paid work experience in co-op.
Once you graduate, you'll find no end of opportunities to put your skills to work. Help governments prepare for natural hazards such as floods. Track crime rates or the spread of disease. Map demographics for businesses, or develop transportation routes for municipalities. In this rapidly growing field, our grads are in high demand! | | |
