GEOMATICS Engineering Building (ENGR), Room 209, (907) 786-1972 www.engr.uaa.alaska.edu The Department of Geomatics offers two degrees and a certificate: a two-year Associate of Applied Science degree in Geomatics; a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Geomatics; and a Certificate in Geographic Information Systems (Certificate in GIS). Students seeking the baccalaureate degree may graduate in one of two emphasis areas: Surveying or Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Students seeking continuing education for technical or professional enhancement or a concentrated area of study in Geographic Information Systems should consider the Certificate in GIS. The Geomatics program is science-based and includes:

• Land surveying using global positioning systems and conventional techniques • Automated mapping • Computational analysis and adjustment • Geodesy • Principles of boundary law • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) • Digital photogrammetry

• Remote sensing and image analysis

The wide diversity in the profession creates a similar diversity of employment opportunities. The Certificate in GIS educates students with a broad base of concepts and theory, provides them with hands-on training in real world problems that are relevant to Alaska’s environment, and allows them to explore several thematic areas in GIS applications, such as facilities management, transportation, marine environments, and natural resources. The Associate of Applied Science degree in Geomatics prepares students for technician-level employment as land survey technicians or as automated mapping technicians. Those working as survey technicians frequently work outdoors, travel to various job locations, and enjoy an independent lifestyle. Automated mapping technicians work with the latest cartographic techniques and equipment and easily transfer skills learned in Geomatics courses to other disciplines. The Bachelor of Science degree prepares students for a wide variety of professional-level opportunities. Since Alaska poses unique Geomatic challenges, the curriculum emphasizes northern principles and practices, making UAA graduates highly recruited in the Alaska marketplace and eligible for employment worldwide. Students will find employment in private industry, government, and municipal agencies. Geomaticians working at the professional level enjoy responsibility and a choice of indoor and outdoor employment with many opportunities for advancement and diversification. The new high tech fields open employment in GIS, photogrammetry, remote sensing, land surveying, automated mapping, land design and planning, survey engineering, and resource management positions. In Alaska, geomaticians work on State and Native land claims, mining claims, fishing leases, petroleum reserves, forest selections, transportation corridors, private developments, government and military projects. In Alaska and elsewhere, geomaticians work in land surveying, land development and design, mapping and tax assessment, the defense industry, environmental engineering assessment and management, public safety and welfare, medicine, transportation, agriculture, business, and natural sciences. Professional predictors indicate that employment opportunities will be strong for the various geomatics specialties in Alaska and the Pacific Rim well into the 21st century. While enrolled in the program, students are eligible for cooperative employment programs with government agencies and with private industry during the summer and for intern programs during the school year. The Department of Geomatics accommodates a wide variety of student objectives from entry level to professional preparation and encourages the non-traditional student to return for training in current practices and principles. Students seeking professional licensing as Registered Land Surveyors and those who are interested in specializing in Surveying or Geographic Information Systems (GIS) should enroll in the Bachelor of Science degree program. For the most effective planning, Bachelor degree candidates should declare their intent by the second semester of their Geomatics studies.

ACCREDITATION The Bachelor of Science degree program in Geomatics at UAA is accredited by the Applied Science Committee of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ASAC/ABET).

49

ADVISING All undergraduate students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor each semester for the purpose of reviewing their academic progress and planning future courses. It is particularly important for students to meet with their advisor whenever academic difficulties arise. Students are encouraged to consult the faculty in the Department of Geomatics for assistance in designing their course of study to ensure that all prerequisites have been met and that university and major degree requirements are understood and followed.

PREREQUISITES All prerequisites for Geomatics courses must be completed with a grade of C or higher.

PREPARATION The University offers courses to help students without this preparation to meet the skill level required in the Geomatics program. Insufficient preparation will increase the number of semesters required to complete either degree. Students seeking the Certificate in Geographic Information Systems, the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Science degree in Geomatics should prepare for entrance into the program by completing the following high school courses: Mathematics Algebra II Trigonometry Science Physics English Composition Skill level as demonstrated by ACT, SAT or approved placement test to qualify for enrollment in ENGL A111

December 10, 2008 To: UAA Faculty CC: Deans and Directors From: Patt Sandberg, Chair, Graduate Academic Board Hilary Davies, Chair, Undergraduate Academic Board T. Bart Quimby, Office of Academic Affairs Subject: Curriculum Update Thank you for your continued work in ensuring the currency of all curriculum being offered at UAA. In the past year the Course Content Guides of nearly all GER courses have been rewritten and aligned more closely with the goals and outcomes of their categories. This was a first step towards renewal of the entire curriculum. As we progress into the second phase of this process we can count a significant number of courses with initiation dates from the last century. Our intention is to update these in an organized fashion that will not unduly slow the approval process or interfere with other important curricular actions. That leads us to plan this effort in the following way:

1. If you were planning for or engaged in revision of courses or programs in advance of the schedule below, please proceed.

2. Please initiate revisions of the oldest courses first. The spreadsheet on the Governance website notes approximately 250 courses (undergraduate and graduate) with initiation dates of 1988 or 1989. Revision of these should begin immediately so that they can proceed through the college and governance boards in the spring of 2009.

3. An equivalent set of courses (about 250) have initiation dates between 1990 and 1995. These should be revised on a schedule that allows their review and approval by the academic boards by the end of spring 2010.

4. Courses with initiation dates between 1996 and 2000 should be reviewed, and any that do not meet UAA standards for CCGs (e.g. containing content, goals, outcomes and assessment methods) should be revised prior to the accreditation visit in October 2010. Examples of current CCGs are at www.curric.uaa.alaska.edu

Since faculty may decide to delete many of the older courses, the academic boards are prepared to accept a memo listing those deletions after proper coordination. No rationale is needed. However, it is essential to search the catalog (posted on the Governance Website) for programs using courses proposed for deletion and to coordinate with the associated departments. The academic boards will ask for evidence of coordination. Other requirements may apply in individual college curriculum committees. Some suggestions from the chairs of the academic boards to facilitate the process:

• Start early. Large volumes of curriculum materials are common late in the spring. • Use the latest CAR (with drop-down boxes) from the Governance website. • Listen for updates to the process. The academic boards may provide for additional

streamlining. • Contact the chairs of the academic boards if you have a special situation – such as a large

number of courses that require similar, but minor revisions. Further adjustments of the review process may be considered.
