  1. Changes in the Education of Geodetic Engineers - Who needs them? What for? Maria Augusta Silva  Aalborg University - Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa  2005

  2. Changesin the Education of Geodetic Engineers  Several studies have been carried out: FIG – Commission 2: “Professional Education” with Working Groups 2.1 to 2.5CLGE -European Council of Geodetic Surveyorse.g. ‘Profile Report’ EEGECS -European Education in Geodetic Engineering, Cartography and Surveying with Working Groups 1 to 6 02

  3. Changesin the Education of Geodetic Engineers  Some conclusions:  to enhance/expand the competences of geodetic surveyorsin order tobetter serve the ever changing needs of society namely throughcomplementing ‘Measurement Science’ with ‘Land Management’within a multidisciplinary paradigm of ‘Spatial Information Management’ 03

  4. Changesin the Education of Geodetic Engineers  Factors of change: • technological developmentsnew social/administrative needsuniversities’ financial situationlack of studentsinternational influence (EU,…)… 04

  5. Changesin the Education of Geodetic Engineers  Stakeholders: 1 - Directive boards of universities2 -Tutelary Minister/ Government3 -Geodetic Engineering departments/sections4 -Professional associations5 -Employees6 -Individual engineers 05

  6. Changesin the Education of Geodetic Engineers  Stakeholders’ objectives: 1- Directive boards of universitiesattract more students; reduce expenses (teachers)2- Tutelary Minister/ Governmentreduce expenses with universities (shut down courses with few students)3-Geodetic Engineering departments/sectionskeep staff; attract more students; market/publicise + enhance curriculum resource constraints  ‘selling more of the same’4- Professional associations enhance competences/curriculum 5-Employeesenhance competences/curriculum, but also ‘ready to use’ engineers 6-Individual engineersenhance competences/curriculum 06
