Abstract

Geomatic represents a branch of engineering that comprises the area of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology, field surveying, cartography, geodesy, photogrammetry, hydrography and cadastral studies. The current Geomatic degree administered by the Faculty of Geoinformation and Real Estate (FGRE) at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) is the Bachelor of Engineering (Geomatic). Introduced in the early 1970s, this bachelor program strives to deliver a quality educational experience via emerging geomatic technologies towards providing significant contribution to the needs of surveying and engineering profession nationwide. This paper encompasses the issue of human resource inventory in relation to the whereabouts and the demographic distribution of geomatic graduates in UTM. For understanding and conducting comprehensive geospatial analysis related to UTM geomatic graduates, Jawatankuasa Alumni Dan Sumber Manusia (JASMG) was formed at FGRE in the year 2014. Preliminary results on the number of graduates, graduates employability, distribution by gender, age and states obtained from the study were presented and discussed in this paper. Despite certain drawbacks in retracing graduates existing careers, it is suggested that a spatio-temporal human resource inventory database is used where their continuous demographic and career information is stored. Incorporating the spatial aspect enables the current employment location of graduates to be mapped while slotting in the temporal aspect are beneficial for continuous observation of graduates' career movement in the future.
