Renewing the geomatics engineering undergraduate curriculum at the University of New Brunswick
Coleman, David J. & Peter Dare
The evolution of the Geomatics Engineering curriculum at the University of New Brunswick (UNB) over the past forty-five years reflects both: (1) the growth and evolution of Canada's geomatics profession as a whole; and (2) society's demands for a broader and more balanced education in professional engineering and surveying. UNB's new 4-year BScE program and our concurrent degree program with Computer Science both reflect our latest thinking in terms of the depth and range of geomatics material, the mix between lectures and hands-on projects, and a strong focus on options for formal Co-Op employment and/or international exchanges. Given the increasingly rapid changes being experienced today and seeing how they are affecting the way traditional and new employers alike can succeed we expect the strong demand for our graduates to continue well into the future.
