This course is based on the job required to perform by a Geomatics technician at different related industries and organizations in Zambia and abroad. The Diploma in Geomatics Engineering program extends over three years. Each year is divided into two semesters. There are six semesters in total within the period of three years. This curriculum includes the basic science subjects like physics, chemistry, and mathematics applicable in the field of Geomatics Engineering. It also includes language subjects like Zambia and English applicable for the communication in the field of Geomatics technology. The course structure and the subject wise contents that follow reflect the details of this curriculum. In short, this curriculum guides its implementers to produce competent and highly employable middle level technical human resources in the field of Geomatics Engineering The contents of individual subjects prescribed in the curriculum are incorporated in the light of "must to know and must to do" principle.
