HISTORY

The Department of Geomatics Engineering started education in September 1972 as the Department of Geomatics and Cadastre Engineering within the body of Konya State Engineering and Architecture Academy (KDMMA). Founded in the 1970-1971 academic year, KDMMA consisted of Departments of Civil Engineering and Architecture. Due to the delay in the establishment of the departments, the department started the academic year in March 1973. After KDMMA was transformed into Selçuk University Faculty of Engineering and Architecture in 1982, the department continued its education under the name of Geodesy and Photogrammetry Engineering. The department moved to Alaeddin Keykubat Campus in October 1991. Since the 1992/1993 academic year, dual education (daytime and evening education) has started. Compulsary English preparatory education was implemented between 2001-2009, and as of the 2009-2010 academic year, Optional English preparatory education, in which students do not have to be succeed, started to be implemented. In 2009, the name of the department was changed to "Geomatics Engineering" with a decision taken at the General Assembly of YÖK.

Konya Technical University was established as a new university with the Additional Article-179 added to the Law No. 2809 with the seventh article of the Law No. 7141 published in the Official Gazette dated 18.05.2018 and numbered 30425. The name and connection of the Faculty of Engineering, which was affiliated to Selcuk University, has been changed. "Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences" was established under the Rectorate of Konya Technical University. The Department of Geomatics Engineering continues its studies within the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences.
