This two-year diploma from SAIT's School of Construction covers the collection, analysis and application of spatial data across four 15-week semesters, with intakes each September. Coursework covers land surveying methods for determining point locations and measuring distances and angles, remote sensing using satellite and aerial sensors, cartography and mapmaking, geographic information systems (GIS) for managing and presenting spatial data, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and GPS positioning, photogrammetry, and geography as it relates to spatial patterns and human-environment interaction. Students also learn to build and use digital maps for interactive analysis. Delivery is in person at SAIT's Main Campus. The program accepts international applicants but does not currently meet Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility requirements. Graduates are prepared for roles in surveying, mapping technology, energy, civil engineering, GIS and government, among other engineering-technologist positions. Recent graduate surveys report a 92% employment rate and an average starting salary of $67,602.
