REVISING A GEODESY AND CARTOGRAPHY ENGINEERING CURRICULUM. Castro, M., Iglesias, L., Rodríguez-Solano, R., Sánchez J. A. International Journal of Engineering Education, 24 (6), 1180-1190. 2008.
Abstract
In the 1990s, a new degree, Geodesic and Cartographic Engineering, was created in Spain. It is a post-graduate degree, lasting two years. At present, Spanish university degrees are being redefined for their adaptation to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Thus, after more than ten years of experience and in view of the implementation of the EHEA, it is essential to analyse how well the degree curriculum is adapted to the professional requirements of our graduates in their working lives. A survey of former
students was taken to gather a profile of graduates, job positions and their opinions about the courses they studied. The relationship between the curriculum and the Master's theses written by the students was also examined.
