About Our Department

Overview

Engineering Technology focuses on practical application of science and engineering. The difference between Engineering and Engineering Technology is that engineering technology focuses on application of techniques while engineering focuses on developing concepts. ETSE combines mathematics, computers, hands-on experience, and communication to provide an education centered on practical applications, career independence, and responsibility.

Surveying Engineering is a rapidly developing discipline that focuses on acquiring and analyzing precise spatial information. Geomatics engineers use technologies such as UAVs, GNSS, 3D laser scanners, satellite images, and GIS. They measure terrestrial and 3D positions of points on, above, and below the earth’s surface with high precision, aiding in infrastructure design, legal boundaries, and providing data for resource managers, developers, and coastal monitoring systems.
