Geomatics Engineering

Geomatics Engineering is concerned with the development of new technologies for the acquisition, analysis, management and distribution of geospatial data and with the creation and implementation of new decision-making tools and applications based on the geospatial information. It involves the design and development of new software tools and algorithms to analyse, interpret and graphically represent the acquired data in formats useful to the end-users. It also involves designing, testing and mounting small portable sensors and transmitters on satellites, aircraft, land-based vehicles and water-based vehicles.

Sam was interested in Geomatics Engineering when he was sitting for his high school exams. Sam Majid joined the Department of Geomatics in the University of Melbourne in 1996, intrigued by the wide range of courses offered and the mixture of IT and geomatics skills offered. Sam graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Geomatic Engineering in 1998 and a Masters in Geomatic Engineering in 2000 and went on to work for Geomatic Technologies, followed by Sinclair Knight Merz. He now is the managing director of Ennoble Consultancy (EC) with particular focus and specialization in designing and developing enterprise spatial applications for power utilities and telecommunication companies on the web and mobile platforms.
