2 about: Spatial industry careers Spatial industry careers dynamic challenging leading edge technology rewarding The spatial sciences are at the heart of Australia s expanding development and can provide a pathway to leadership positions in the future. Explore your world with a career in spatial sciences Spatial sciences is all about location measuring, mapping, analysing and modelling. It has to do with: directing our ambulances to the correct emergency location discovering new and promising iron ore, gold and nickel deposits assisting in the building of our roads, dams and bridges laying out the next sub-division of land protecting our wetlands and environment placing health services and general practitioners strategically in regional areas guiding our traffic in and out of airports modelling climate change and land degradation planning, designing and rehabilitating mine sites infrastructure and corridor planning and many more. The people who supply spatial information i.e. information that can be mapped or communicates where a person or object is located, are employed as surveyors or mine and engineering surveyors (data collection, analysis and interpretation), GIS specialists (spatial modelling and analysis) or mapping specialists (visualisation and presentation). Government and industry have discovered that high quality spatial information is fundamental to making informed decisions on a wide range of economic, environmental and social issues on a daily basis. The work is dynamic and challenging, and the technology is leading edge. The work ranges from outdoor to indoor, from onshore to offshore, from data management to resource management. The spatial sciences are at the heart of Australia s expanding development and can provide a pathway to leadership positions in the future. There has never been a better time to invest in a degree in spatial sciences. spatial.curtin.edu.au

3 Xy Spatial science graduates can be found working in an increasingly diverse range of industry and government sectors including: exploration and mining oil and gas environmental and natural resources management urban and regional planning utilities and asset management property management and valuation engineering computing and knowledge management health sciences and epidemiology demographics and marketing agriculture and agribusiness geosciences marine and coastal management

4 courses: Bachelor of Surveying Rebecca Trinke Hydrographic Surveyor I m currently a hydrographic surveyor for an international survey company. My position involves working offshore in the oil and gas industry on various rigs and vessels. My work comprises moving rigs to their next well location, navigating drilling boats to test locations, working with ROVs for laying down of pipeline, inspection of pipelines, and working with saturation divers. Although I regularly go on the same rigs or boats, there are always new challenges and events that make the job very satisfying. I also do a good deal of travelling, which I particularly enjoy. I would definitely recommend a career in surveying to anyone. A surveying career can involve travelling, working outdoors, being you own boss, and working in different fields whether it is mining, offshore, cadastral or engineering. Bachelor of Surveying Key Course Facts: TISC Code: CUESC 2011 Entry Requirement (essential): Mathematics 2C/2D 2011 Entry Requirement (desirable): Mathematics 3C/3D 4 years full-time/part-time equivalent What Does a Career in Surveying Involve?

Second and third years expand the student s knowledge into more specialised areas of surveying and mapping, including business and management subjects. Fourth year students choose a specific option for in-depth study and complete a major project or undertake an Honours program. The Department provides a range of new surveying equipment for student use and utilises the latest software in its teaching programs. This ensures that our students are trained on equipment that is current and relevant to industry. The surveying course has been fully accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This means that our surveying graduates have an internationally recognised qualification and a recognized level of competence, have greater networking opportunities and greater prospects for continual training. The surveying degree, with the appropriate practical experience, provides the required academic qualifications to become a registered practising licensed surveyor in Western Australia. spatial.curtin.edu.au/courses/surveying.cfm

Analysis and modelling of spatial information Mapping and geography Management of natural and man-made environments Working as part of a team Satisfaction of participating in exciting projects Variety and challenges GIScience Course Overview First year comprises fundamental studies in mathematics and computing, with an introduction to geographic information science subjects. Second and third years extend the student s knowledge and skills into further core GIScience units. These core units are studied by all course students. An optional fourth year in Honours may be offered. Majors In second and third years, students also choose to specialise in a course major: Geospatial Analysis or Geospatial Mapping or Approved major Potential Employment Areas Mineral Exploration Asset Management and Utilisation Environmental Management Mining Business Geographics Geological Mapping Oil and Gas Consultancy IT Systems Development Planning and Urban Development Desktop Publishing Land Ownership and Titles Property Remote Sensing Software Development Spatial Data Management Web Publishing Emergency Services Public Health Crime Mapping E-Commerce Marketing Agriculture and Fisheries spatial.curtin.edu.au/courses/giscience.cfm Akeal Hayek Spatial Analyst I work as a Spatial Analyst in a business specialising in providing a range of technological solutions and products to environmental businesses. Currently, I m involved in locating a few endangered flora species which can potentially earn our clients a billion dollars. I also do a lot of systems management of an ongoing data capture project, helping to keep the system processes up to date as the company expands, integrating data, checking it, and I always enjoy doing some old fashioned data capture myself. I also do a lot of computer science work, such as programming to develop tools which makes life that much easier, and creating and developing spatially enabled databases using different operating systems. I am also closely involved in mobile GIS, where we are beginning to get botanists to map flora and fauna data using GPS as they see it in real time, turning their field-work into GIS datasets on the fly. The best part about my job is the variety. No two projects are ever the same, so problems have to be solved dynamically for nearly every situation. That means with this job I m always being challenged with new ideas and problems. I would definitely recommend a career in GIS. The pay is good for a graduate, and it only goes up as you get more experienced. There is such a diverse range of work that you can get into with the different disciplines that have overlapped with GIS.

6 courses: Bachelor of Science (Mine and Engineering Surveying) Katie McInerney Specialist Mining Engineer Since graduating I have had two mine surveying positions, worked as a trainee mining engineer, short term planner, long term planning engineer and now I am currently employed as a specialist mining engineer. I have actually used the Mine and Engineering Surveying degree as a stepping stone to this new position. This current role involves being a mining engineering representative for feasibility studies and long term/life of mine planning (for existing sites). In this position I enjoy the broader picture decision making and liaison with other disciplines. I would recommend a career in mine and engineering surveying to anyone wanting to engage in a career that enables them to enjoy a balance of the outdoors lifestyle coupled with technical desk-top work. Bachelor of Science (Mine and Engineering Surveying) Key Course Facts: TISC Code: CUKSC 2011 Entry Requirement: Mathematics 2C/2D 3 years full-time/part-time equivalent Campus: Bentley (first two years) Campus: Kalgoorlie (third year) What Does a Career in Mine and Mine and Engineering Course Overview First year provides foundations in physics, computing, mapping, mining technology, mine surveying and mathematics. Second year progresses to studies in engineering surveying, geology, remote sensing, computer assisted cartography and other related units. Third year studies are at Kalgoorlie, and involve a broad range of topics concerned with underground and surface mining environments, surveying and other relevant areas. Graduates may qualify for the Authorised Mine Surveyor s Certificate as well as mine management level roles, such as the Restricted Quarry Manager. Engineering Surveying Involve? Specialist knowledge of underground and surface mines and engineering surveying Marking out, measuring and monitoring major engineering structures Defining the direction of surface and underground workings on mine sites Preparation and updating of mine surveying plans for open pit and underground workings on mine sites. Working as part of a team Satisfaction of participation in exciting projects The course is designed to produce surveyors with specialist knowledge of underground and surface mines and a knowledge of engineering surveying. Mine and engineering surveyors are employed in the mining and construction industries. Because of the nature of the Western Australian economy, graduates have traditionally had excellent employment prospects with a variety of attractive career choices. These include the opportunity to work outdoors and indoors, the city or country and in Australia or overseas. In Western Australia, the largest number of opportunities are based in country centres, but in more remote areas many operations are carried out on a fly-in, fly-out basis. Mine and engineering surveyors work cooperatively with other professionals including engineers, mining engineers, geologists, land surveyors and cartographers. This course contains a significant number of mining units and prepares students for operational management at the quarry manager level, with the appropriate practical experience. spatial.curtin.edu.au/courses/bsc_mine_ surveying.cfm

7 courses: Double Degrees Juliane de Pierres GIS Analyst Double degrees A double degree comprises two individually approved courses undertaken at the same time, resulting in two awards. The Department offers the following double degree courses: Surveying Double degrees: Bachelor of Surveying/Bachelor of Commerce (Property) TISC Code: CUQFC Bachelor of Surveying/Bachelor of Commerce (Entrepreneurship) TISC Code: CUQDC Key Course Facts: 2011 Entry Requirement (essential): Mathematics 2C/2D 2011 Entry Requirement (desirable): Mathematics 3C/3D 5 years full-time/part-time equivalent GIScience Double degree: Bachelor of Science (Geographic Information Science)/Bachelor of Science (Applied Geology) TISC Code: CUEQC Key Course Facts: 2011 Entry Requirement (essential): Mathematics 2C/2D 2011 Entry Requirement (desirable): Mathematics 3C/3D 4 years full-time/part-time equivalent My current position is a GIS Analyst in the oil and gas industry. The day to day aspects of my job involve map creation, management of field collected survey data, 3D visualisation and generally the storage and analysis of spatial data. The best part about the work is going out into the field and seeing how the work I have been doing is being used to improve work practises for all areas of the business, like the collection of data by environmental scientists on Barrow Island or assisting with the storage and management of data which are collected from marine surveys. I would definitely recommend a GIS/ mapping career to anyone who likes to have a balance between design and science. I enjoy the challenge trying to maintain databases at the same time as creating a high quality map which can be used to illustrate where the company s assets and infrastructure exist. spatial.curtin.edu.au/courses/courses_ undergraduate.cfm
