The applicant for Topographic and Geomatic Engineering must demonstrate interest and aptitude for the abstract representation of the territory, including its geographic elements and spatiotemporal dynamics, as well as skills in mathematics, geometry, and physics. These will be evidenced during the interview, in the results of the Saber 11 test, and in the diagnostic test administered by the program.

The Topographic and Geomatic Engineer trained by UCundinamarca takes on the social challenge of generating geo-scientific knowledge, carrying out diagnoses according to available geospatial information, proposing solutions, and making decisions aimed at stimulating local, regional, national, and international development based on criteria of business and institutional competitiveness, preservation approached from the perspective of decision-making, integrality, and sustainable development that promotes the social and cultural use of knowledge.

The Topographic and Geomatic Engineer is a professional who captures, stores, processes, and disseminates territorial information at the topographic level, using and complementing it with geomatic techniques; in other words, they manage georeferenced territorial information. These competencies are the mission of public and private entities that require professionals with training in Topographic and Geomatic Engineering, such as national and territorial environmental institutions and authorities, among others.
