Background
The course was initiated as Diploma in Survey Engineering in 2020. With regard to various developments in this sector and also the field of application, the need of revision of this course has become prominent. Most of the international institutions and universities currently recognize this subject of study as GEOMATICS.
The course is aimed at producing middle level technical human resource in the field of
Geomatics.
1. Introduction:
This curriculum is of three years duration with six semesters. It is designed to produce middle level competent Geomatics technicians equipped with knowledge and skills related to the land surveying, engineering/ construction surveying and Geographical Information System and
applications.
The study of Geomatics Engineering provides the ample opportunities of employment and self
employment in the field of surveying, mapping and GIS.
2. Course title:
Diploma in Geomatics Engineering
3. Course Objectives:
- This course is designed to produce Surveyors / Geomatics Technicians meeting the
requirement of intermediate level of surveyors for the Government and
engineering construction industry / companies
- The gradates shall have adequate knowledge and skill in spatial data acquisition
using field survey methods, processing and visual presentation
- The graduates will have working knowledge in interpreting image data acquired through Air survey and Remote Sensing
- The graduates shall be capable for continuing higher education.
4. Duration: 3 Academic Years (Six Semesters)- 15 weeks/semester, 40 hrs/ week
Examination and marking scheme:
• The subject teacher will internally assess the students’ achievement in each subject
during the course at least two times followed by a final examination at the end of
each semester.
• Theoretical subjects will be evaluated at 20% for the practical & 20 % theory Continouos assessment and 80%
for the semester final examination.
• Practical subjects will be evaluated at 60% for the internal assessment and 40% for
the semester final examination
• All theory components in the final semester examination will be evaluated
through written tests.
• Generally the method of continuous assessment will be adopted for practical
components.
• Examination for the practical components of the course will be made through lab
works, documentation of practical exercises, performance skill tests and viva.
• Student who fails in the internal assessment of any of the subjects will not be
qualified to sit in the semester final examination in the particular subject.
• Any student not being able to attend the semester final exam will not be allowed to
continue in the successive semester.
