BE in Geomatics Engineering | Tribhuvan University

Bachelor in Geomatics Engineering is offered by Department of Civil Engineering, Western Regional Campus, Pokhara. This campus is the constituent campus of Tribhuvan University. The geomatics engineering like other engineering is a 4 year program of 8 semesters whose duration is of 48 months. Another name of Geomatics engineering is Geospatial Engineering. This discipline is a very fast growing field that focuses on spatial information. Spatial information means information that has a location. The location is the main factor that is used to put together a wide of range of data necessary for information and visualization. In geomatics engineering, students are taught to analyze and collect spatial information of land, water, natural resources, manmade feature etc. by designing, developing and operating systems necessary for it. It has revolutionized surveying by using advance tools like digital theodolite, GPS, GIS etc.

Fee structure:

The fee for regular students with Scholarship is about Rs. 8,300 and for full paid students it is about Rs. 75,700 per semester. In addition to this, there are some minor additional costs.

Scope and Career Prospects

Geomatics is one of the most fast growing engineering fields. Graduates can find good jobs in very short period of time. Geomatics Engineers can work at offshore companies positioning oil rigs and monitoring pipelines across ocean as they have technique of mapping. Geomatics graduates who have good knowledge remote sensing can get job in national heritage, environmental organizations, minerals and oil industry. The graduates will have ample opportunities to travel while working so it is very interesting. The graduates can work in the organizations where technician with GIS knowledge is needed. In Nepal some of the fields where Geomatics Engineers can work are:

Government organizations
NGO/ INGOs
Hydro power companies
Consultancy and firms
NEA and Environmental organization
Nepal Army
Organizations working in transport management and natural resources management etc.
