Advising Notes
- Courses in engineering, computer science, mathematics, the physical sciences, and mandatory technical courses taken CR/NC are not counted toward fulfillment of degree requirements in surveying engineering.
- All geomatics engineering students must consult with their academic advisors at least once each year.
- The geomatics engineer major curriculum is very demanding. Many students, especially those not fully prepared in mathematics and physics take 4 1/2 or more years to graduate rather than the traditional 4 years. If necessary, students may go to the Learning Resource Center in the Keats Building and request tutorial assistance.
