While the new curriculum aims to serve the requirements
of mapping agencies of the government and the private sector, it is also
adopted to the development of geodetic science and research. The courses
deal more on the fundamentals and the core of the various branches of geodesy.
To equip the student with sufficient background knowledge in understanding
the various geodetic engineering operations, courses in mathematical methods,
electronics, and cartography are introduced. Also included are subjects
in general photo-interpretation and physical geodesy. More units in photogrammetry
had to be added in order to cover the recent developments in this field.
The scope of geodetic surveying and geodetic astronomy now includes electronic
surveying and satellite observations.
