What are the advantages of a geomatics degree?

[Edit]

More and more states in the United States are requiring a 4 year degree to be a licensed surveyor. Geomatics is a broad field which encompasses land surveying, remote sensing, Geographic information Systems, Global Positioning Systems and related forms of mapping. All of this is part and parcel of the job of a land surveyor. Land surveying is no longer the Red Headed Step Child of Civil Engineering. It is now a unique discipline that encompasses measuring, mapping, and legal opinions. A geomatics degree will better prepare the professional for the career that is in store for him or her. You learn the why's not just the how to's of the job through the geomatics degree. That is the difference between a professional and a technician.
