Global Trends in Surveying Education: and the role of the FIG

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Basically, the surveyors have been dealing with the same tasks for centuries. However, even if the core areas of cadastral surveying and land management are still the same, the paradigms and tools to be used must constantly be adapted to technological development as well as to the ever changing societal and administrative conditions. This of course imposes all kinds of challenges upon the profession and educational institutions. Furthermore, issues such as curricula development, quality assurance, continuing professional development, and mutual recognition are crucial to any professional organisation at national regional or international level. The issues become even more acute when looking at the challenges facing the surveying profession.
