A Geodetic Engineering graduate is expected to be able to execute control surveys; mineral, hydrographic, and topographic surveys; photogrammetric surveys; gravimetric surveys; and astronomical observations. In the view of the comprehensive training, opportunities after graduation are very great and one is unlikely to find difficulty looking for work.
The curriculum is adapted to the development of geodetic science and research. The courses deal more on the fundamentals and the core of the various branches of geodesy, courses in mathematical methods, electronics, and cartography are introduced.
OBJECTIVES: Train students to analyze and solve GE problems by applying basic principles of mathematics, science, and surveying. Train students to apply modern engineering techniques, skills, and tools to fulfill societal needs; Instill in the students sensitivity to ethical, societal, and environmental issues; Provide strong fundamental knowledge to pursue advanced degrees in diverse fields and continuing professional development; and Develop technical and communication skills.
PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: Three to five years after graduation, the Geodetic Engineering alumni:
Must have advanced their practice in the field of surveying, digital mapping, remote sensing, spatial data handling for land and geographic information systems; Must strive to be globally competitive through upholding the CSU mission values, pursuing continuing education, and continuously advancing personal growth; and Must respond to the holistic demand for a geodetic engineer in protecting the environment, human life and property, promoting socio-economic development, and in providing innovative systems for good governance and community service.
PROGRAM OUTCOMES: Apply knowledge of mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering sciences to the practice of geodetic engineering; Design and conduct experiments to test hypotheses and verify assumptions, as well as to organize, analyze and interpret data, draw valid conclusions, and develop mathematical models for processes; Design, improve, innovate, and to supervise systems or procedures to meet desired needs within realistic constraints; Work effectively in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams in diverse fields of practice; Identify, formulate, and solve geodetic engineering problems; Understand the effects and impact of the geodetic engineering profession on the environment and the society, as well as the social and ethical responsibilities of the profession; Specialized knowledge in at least one focus area of geodetic engineering practice and the ability to apply such knowledge to provide solutions to actual problems; Communicate effective oral and written communications particularly in the English language; Engage in life-long learning and to keep current of the development in a specific field of specialization; Use the appropriate techniques, skills and tools necessary for the practice of geodetic engineering; and Gain knowledge in contemporary issues under the program.
