University’s
UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA (in brief)
The university was established on 14th March 1972
under the name of Institute Teknologi Kebangsaan
which was later changed to Universiti Teknologi
Malaysia (UTM) on 1st. April 1975. The university
had its humble beginning as a class for technical
studies in Kuala Lumpur in 1904. In 1906, the class
was upgraded into a Technical School. In 1941,
it was recommended that the Technical School be
upgraded to the status of a college.
However, due to the Second World War, the
suggestion could only be implemented in 1946
during which the institution became known as the
Technical College, Kuala Lumpur. The Technical
College then offered three-year Diploma courses in
Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Town
and Country Planning, Land Surveying and Quantity
Surveying. At present UTM’s main campus is in
Skudai, Johor and consists of 12 faculties namely,
Faculty of Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering, Chemical and Natural
Resources Engineering, Geoinformation Science,
Education, Computer Science and Engineering,
Build Environment, Science, Education, Computer
Science and Information System, Faculty of
Management and Human Resource Development,
Bioscience & Bioengineering and Biomedical
Engineering & Health Science. The university offers
courses leading to a Diploma, Bachelor, Master and
Ph.D degrees.

Message from the Dean
:elcome
to the Faculty of Geoinformation and Real Estate, Universiti Teknologi
Malaysia (UTM). We focus on education and research for undergraduate as well as for
postgraduate programs in the related disciplines such as geomatic engineering, property
management, geoinformatic, remote sensing and land administration & development. We
strive to be a leading academic center in geoinformation and real estate in this region.
Our graduates and alumni form major strong professional societies and work force in the
related industry. Many of our graduates end up with good jobs not just in Malaysia but also
in other countries (Asian, Middle East, Africa and Europe). The strong team and knowledgeable academic members in this faculty provide excellent ingredients for the success
of the programs (i.e. with the relevant and up-to-date curriculum and syllabus). We are
continuously working to provide and offer rst-class geoinformation and real estate education and research in the country and be on par with other leading institutions in other parts
of the globe.
Thank you.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOINFORMATION
BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING (GEOMATIC) PROGRAMME
1.0
Introduction
Geomatic Engineering is an area of technology for measuring, managing, presentation and analising the
geospatial data relating the earth. Geospatial data are obtained from various sources including observation of
satellites orbiting the earth, sensors that are in the air, sea and terrestrial instruments. These data are processed
and manipulated using computer and latest softwares. Also included in the area of geospatial are the computer
mapping, remote sensing for monitoring the environment and positioning as well as precise navigation using
Global Positioning System (GPS).
Bachelor of Engineering (Geomatic) programme in the Department of Geomatic Engineering, Faculty of
Geoinformation and Real Estate, Universiti Technologi Malaysia is one of the oldest programme in Malaysia.
Before 1994 the programme is known as Bachelor of Surveying (Land).
This programme obtained full accreditation from the Board of Land Surveyor for Peninsular Malaysia and also
from the Public Services Department of Malaysia.

in the country. The programme is mainly designed to meet the different real estate professional needs in the
region. From time to time changes were made to the programme to reect the changing needs of the industry.
The competitiveness of the real estate industry across the region has affected practitioner’s expectation of
graduates in the eld. The changing trend in the industry from purely knowledge based professionals to one with
knowledge and human skills have change the way real estate professionals are trained. Currently the outcomebased education (OBE) is being practiced here to ensure that the objectives of the programs are attained.
The sub-disciplines covered in the programme include:

Programme Recognition
This rst intake to the programme was rst offered by the University in the 1973/74 academic session. The award
conferred was Bachelor in Surveying (Property Management). It was conducted as a ve year degree programme
and the rst batch of graduate completed their studies in 1978. The programme received its recognition
from The Public Services Department (ref: JPA.SULIT. 130/15-1SK.29) after it was deliberated at the Mesyuarat
Jawatankuasa Tetap Penilaian dan Pengiktirafan Kelayakan-Kelayakan which sat on the 24th November 1978.
In 1995, the name of the programme was changed from B.Surv (Property Management) to B.Sc (Property
Management). The name and award changed requires a new recognition from JPA of which was eventually
obtained when they convene their meeting on the 25th April 1996. (ref: JPA.SULIT. 130/15-1SK.29). Currently
the programme is also recognized by the Board of Valuers, Appraisers and Estate Agents, Malaysia.

To calculate Grade Point Average (commonly referred to as a GPA) for a semester:
1.
Compute the grade points earned in each subject, using the table above to nd the point equivalent for each grade
and multiplying that grade by the number of credits for that course, then adding all resulting numbers. This is a
total grade point for the semester.
2.
Add all the attempted credits, whether a pass or fail grade - but do NOT include the credits in a course for which
you have earned a TS, HG, HL or HS.
3.
Divide the total grade point by the total number of the attempted credits (again, ignore the credits of the for HL or
HS subjects), thus a Grade Point Average for the semester.

2 (for English) + 2 (for Engineering Math) + 3 (for Material Balance) + 3 (for Material Engineering) + 2 (for TITAS I)
= 12 credits attempted
In step 3, divide the total grade points earned by the total graded credits (and round the results if needed): 34.67/12
= 2.89, thus your Grade Point Average for the semester (i.e. 2.89)
