Land Development

 
Many geomatics professionals assist in the design and construction of roads, bridges, subdivisions, and planned unit developments. Areas of interest are planning and zoning, the principles of route surveying, hydrology, large-scale mapping, subdivisions design, and CAD drafting.

Students are offered the opportunity to study land development in GEM 4405 Route and Construction Surveying, GEM L407 Subdivision Design Practice, and GEM 4409 Hydrology. Topographic Mapping is studied in GEM 3330 Advanced Measurement Analysis and GEM L405 Route and Construction Surveying Lab. GEM 4409 is a design course focused on the determination of peak flows and design of hydraulic flows to accommodate runoff.
