1/3

M. Tech. in Civil Engineering (Geomatics)

Introduction, Scope and Objective of Programme

The geomatics industry has grown from US $ 2.02 billion (2002) to US $ 11.7 billion (2007),registering a growth rate of US $ 2.2 billion per annum world over. In India, due to increased

emphasis on development of civil engineering infrastructure, utilities and service industry inUrban areas/Public sector, the geomatics field is bound to grow from Rs. 0.683 billion (2007) to1.5 billion (2011). Therefore, the PG program in Geomatics is designed to strengthen theoreticalconcepts and provide practical tools to budding civil engineers and planners. The coursestructures is designed to cover fundamental (sem. I), advanced and application (Sem 2), andspecialized course (Sem 3 &4) in the inter-disciplinary field of Geomatics. Additonal focus hasbeen laid on use of software tools for planning, optimization and decision making through taughtcourses and major project. The various fields covered under geomatics includes but not limitedto are Remote Sensing and GIS applications in Natural Resource Management, Hydrology andWater Resources, Environmental Engineering, Disaster Management, Urban & RegionalPlanning, Transportation Engineering, Utilities Management, Location Based Services, Web GIS,and Large Scale Mapping. A strong industry link has been laid with ISRO, BISAG and consulting

agencies for mentoring students.
