Turut sama ditemui ketika sesi mengemas librari di ofis ialah lapuran tahunan yang diterbit oleh jabatan geomatik di banyak universiti luar. Salah satunya ialah laporan tahunan Department of Geomatics, Melbourne University Australia. Laporan ini boleh diminta secara bertulis atau melalui emel dan mereka menghantarnya melalui pos.
Dept of Geomatics bermula dengan nama Dept of Surveying yang ditubuh pada 1949. Dept of Surv kemudian menukar nama kepada Dept of Surveying and Land Information dan seterusnya kepada Dept of Geomatics pada hujung 1993.

Back in 1998 I was given the task teaching geodesy to the participants of Hydro Cat B conducted at UTM. The lecture and lab for the subject took thirty four contact hours. The content of the subject among others were geodetic datum, satellite geodesy, adjustment computation and map projection.

The first MSc degree of UNB Surveying Dept was awarded in 1963 while the first PhD degree in 1970. Eugene Emery Derenyi completed his MSc in 1963 with thesis entitled “Deflections of the vertical in Central New Brunswick”. Later in year 1970 Derenyi obtained his PhD from UNB with the thesis “An exploratory investigation concerning the relative orientation of continuous strip imagery”. Derenyi was the second PhD graduand with the first awarded to Ahmed F A E-K [Fouad Abd El-Kader] whom wrote a thesis entitled “New laser instruments and new methods for mine orientation surveys”. There were three PhD recipients from UNB in 1970. The third graduand was Fubara DJM (b.1938) [Dagogo Micheal Jim] (of Nigeria) whom wrote a thesis on “Three-dimensional geodesy applied to terrestrial geodetic network”.
Derenyi was supervised by Koneckny, while Chrzanowski did the supervision for Ahmed and Fubara did his work under Vanicek’s guidance.

It seems that surveying department at UNB has pioneer graduates in about the same period with those in UNSW. The first batch BScE from UNB graduated in 1962. There were four candidates graduated with BScE (three from Canada and one from USA). In 1963 another six graduates with BScE and one with MScE (the first postgraduate degree from UNB).
The first MScE graduand was Eugene Derenyi with thesis entitled “Deflections of the Vertical in Central New Brunswick.” In 1965 another two MScE candidate were graduated – Emenike from Nigeria and Wolfgang Faig from New Brunswick. Emenike’s thesis entitled “Analysis of Stereotemplet Triangulation Error” while Faig wrote on “Photogrammetry Applied to Arctic Glacier Surveys”.

Dept of Surveying at UNSW was established in 1957 (at that time it was known as NSW U of Technology). The year 1962 saw the graduation of the first BSurv graduands. There were five recipients of the BSurv award in 1962;
John Allman – later become academic staff at UNSW.
Ron Benjamin – senior surveyor with Crown Lands Office, Sydney.
Brian Kent – senior surveyor Gutteridge, Haskin & Davey Pty Ltd.
Tony Robinson – later become academic staff at UNSW.
Jim Sheaves – Secretary to the Australian Police Ministers Council.
Among the teaching staff at that time were – Peter Richardus and George Bennett.

In surveying trigonometric stations (usually referred to as trig station) are a very important infrastructure. They provide control coordinate so that surveying can be easily carried out throughout its surrounding area. In Labuan, there is one trigonometric station available – Timbalai trig station. In survey practice, Timbalai is not only known for its trig station but further more it is also a datum point for the whole East Malaysia mapping system.
