Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Applied Computing (Geomatics)

University of Saskatchewan

The goal of this program is to train students in the theory, tools, and techniques of spatial data analysis. Satellite, drone, and GPS data have revolutionized how we capture, analyze, and interpret spatially anchored data, such as the distribution and health of crops or the weekly shopping habits of individuals. This program combines courses Computer Science and Geography and Planning to provide knowledge and skills in several critical areas: fundamentals of computer programming and practice, the acquisition and analysis of spatial data using Geographic Information Systems, the interpretation of spatial data given existing theory, the fundamentals of data analytics, and the fundamentals of image processing.Geomatic analysis is an emerging area in business intelligence, agriculture, mining, and civic planning. Graduates from this program will be in demand in those sectors.
