Geomatics engineers work in diverse teams in a discipline that is at the intersection of electrical, civil and mechanical engineering, math, physics, geography and law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, being a part of geomatics engineering at the University of Calgary in the Schulich School of Engineering is much more; it&#8217;s a whole experience! Here, students will form a community with people in their classes due to the small class size. A link across many disciplines (eg. software engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, cartography, geography, and more) will be formed in the students&#8217; mind which helps prepare them for the ever-changing world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about geomatics at the<a href=\"https:\/\/schulich.ucalgary.ca\/geomatics\"> UCalgary Department of Geomatics<\/a>
