About the department
The department offers remote sensing and GIS subject to undergraduate 4th year and post graduate students from Civil Engineering. Its aim is to contribute the knowledge of Remote Sensing and GIS technology through capacity building, carry out the research and apply in practical needs of regional development.
Historical Background
Remote Sensing Department has been established in 15th February 2001 in Yangon as the first Myanmar-India Friendship Centre for Remote Sensing and Data Processing (RSDPC) with the Initiative of Ministry of Education (Formerly, Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST)), Myanmar and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), India.
In 2007, Myanmar-India Friendship Centre for Remote Sensing and Data Processing (RSDPC) was renamed as Remote Sensing Department under the Mandalay Technological University (MTU), Ministry of Education. As human resources development, the first Post Graduate Diploma Course on Remote Sensing and GIS could be opened with thirteen trainees at Remote Sensing Department, MTU in 2007-2008.

Upgraded Remote Sensing and GIS Laboratory
The department has upgraded the existing remote sensing and GIS laboratory with the lab equipment purchased by the NEXUS project fund, which are Dell Desktop core i5 Computers, ENVI-IDL 10 users’ license software, DJI Phantom4 Pro+ Drone, projector, printer and laptop computers etc. That lab will further be used in capacity building of remote sensing and GIS subject and researches at remote sensing department, MTU.
Remote Sensing and GIS Technology are very useful tools which can be used in a wide range of applications such as in food, industrial, environmental, natural resources management and agricultural sectors, etc.
