Why Geomatics Science?
More recently, the expertise in geophysical methods for exploration of minerals has been extended to the modern methods of environmental assessment, and to delineation of buried infrastructure in the urban environment. This recent development suggests that future urban and environment issues will benefit greatly by the combined technologies associated with geomatics and exploration geophysics.
An Environmental Test site with a known array of buried targets has been built at York University that is contributing significantly to the external recognition of the Department of Earth & Space Science & Engineering through its activities in Applied Geophysics and Geomatics Engineering.

The Objectives of 1011 are threefold: providing a first exposure to procedural programming, teaching students a set of soft computing skills (such as reasoning about algorithms, tracing programs, test-driven development), and demonstrating how computers are used in a variety of engineering disciplines. It uses problem-based pedagogy to expose the underlying concepts and an experiential laboratory to implement them. An integrated computing environment (such as MATLAB) is used so that students can pick up key programming concepts(such as variables and control flow) without being exposed to complex or abstract constructs. The problems are chosen with consultation with the various engineering disciplines in the Faculty with a view of exposing how computing is used in these disciplines.
