INTRODUCTION
The Geomatics Engineering degree program at the California State University in Fresno was created in 1971, being the first of its kind in the nation.
Continuously accredited in 1982, 1985, 1988, 1994, 2000, 2006 and 2012, the program has maintained a focus on student learning.
The recent ABET report (2012) did not find a single weakness or deficiency in the program.

CONCLUSION
Without good Airborne GPS data, enough ground points need to be provided around and inside the block
It is highly recommended to minimize the camera vibration during flight. This will affect the matching and the final results
UAS photogrammetry can provide acceptable results if planned correctly
