Geomatics
Undergraduate Programs
Master the skills to navigate an exciting career
Geomatics engineering integrates elements of surveying, mapping, and remote sensing technologies to collect, process, and interpret spatial information about the Earth in precise detail.
Oregon State geomatics researchers develop many tools for industry, government, and the public. For example, O-HELP provides instantaneous analyses of the impact of a major earthquake anywhere in Oregon. Other technology developed here allows engineers to assess landslide risk and erosion along the Oregon coast.
Students who complete Oregon State’s geomatics curriculum acquire a powerful combination of technical expertise and practical, experiential knowledge that many employers seek.
