GIS & Geomatics Education – College Programs

Geomatics  is a highly specialized field of study that focuses on the application of geographic information systems (GIS) and related technologies in the fields of surveying, mapping, and spatial analysis. It involves the use of data and technology to help professionals identify, collect, analyze, and interpret geographic information. GIS & Geomatics Education Resources

GIS and Geomatics education has become increasingly important as the field of geospatial technologies continues to evolve and expand. As the need for data-driven decision making continues to grow, geomatics education has become an invaluable asset to many industries. Geomatics education focuses on the application of GIS, remote sensing, and related technologies to solve problems in the fields of engineering, urban planning, cartography, and more. It is an essential tool for making informed decisions about the environment, as well as for creating and managing geographic information systems.

We use the “College Programs” section of our site to share various information about GIS & Geomatics College Programs. See the various pages listed further below for more information …

If you have information related to College Programs that you think we should share here, then please do let us know.

Looking for all COGS graduates

Looking for all COGS graduates

Dr. Bob Maher has started to research ‘the story of COGS’. This is a personal project for Bob and his wife, Heather who arrived in Lawrencetown in 1980 when Bob along with Bruce Peveril taught the first Advanced Diploma program in Scientific Computer Programming. Over the next six years, the ‘survey school’, Nova Scotia Land Survey Institute (NSLSI) was transformed into the College of Geographic Sciences (COGS). It was a time of creativity and innovation in technical education with new programs in Business Computer programming, Computer Graphics and GIS to complement the Remote Sensing program. NSLSI was officially renamed COGS in 1986. As background research, Bob and Heather have started to interview staff who remember those years of transition. In addition, they are compiling class lists, by program and by year. This has led to the concept of a COGS Alumni Network. One of primary outcomes of any learning institution are its graduates. One can compile the view from the teachers’ perspective but this may be quite different than the students’ perspective. Using social media, Bob and Heather want to reach out to the COGS alumni community. We are interested in photographs, articles, stories and feedback on this project.
