What is Geodesy and Geomatics?

Geodesy and Geomatics is about analyzing data about the earth’s surface to solve large problems. The applications are vast: fighting climate change, creating tsunami warning systems, urban planning, construction of pipelines, navigation systems, public health, criminology (recreating crime scenes), and many more. Nearly every aspect of our lives is affected by Geomatics Engineering.

Bachelor of Science in Engineering

The Geodesy and Geomatics program is available as a major or minor as part of a four-year Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree. The Faculty of Engineering at the University of New Brunswick is ranked in the top 10 engineering schools in Canada by Knight School Rankings. The Faculty has been preparing graduates for success in their engineering careers since 1854, when UNB was the first university in Canada to introduce an engineering program. 

Our graduates have gone on to help design and build bridges, make cleaner fuels and next-generation wireless communications tools. Researchers in the Faculty are developing technologies to help improve satellite imagery used by Google Earth and the Canadian Department of National Defence. Others are helping develop biofuels and renewable energy.
