PHOTOGRAMMETRIC ENGINEERING 
the Institute of Geodesy, Photogrammetry, 
and Cartography, which is administered by 
the Department of Geology. The program 
there has developed completely since 1950, 
when the Institute was initiated. A report of 
this special program was presented at the 
1956 International Society of Photogram- 
metry meeting in Stockholm by Professor 
F. J. Doyle. Two schools (Cornell University 
and Syracuse University) have had programs 
in photogrammetry prior to World War II, 
while four well-known schools (Michigan 
State University, Pennsylvania State Uni- 
versity, Massachusetts Institute of Technol- 
ogy, and the University of California at 
Berkeley) have developed significant pro- 
grams only since World War II. Two schools 
(University of Illinois and Georgia Institute 
of Technology) have programs which began 
or were revitalized as late as 1956. Also of 
considerable interest is the instruction offered 
by the University of California, Michigan 
State University, and Pennsylvania State 
University, in a variety of courses offered 
through the departments of Geology, Geogra- 
phy, and Forestry. 
'Thus, it may be concluded that photogram- 
metry is maintaining a significant status with 
substantial programs available in various sec- 
tions of the United States to accommodate 
students from many areas in a variety of dif- 
ferent study programs.

This paper reports the results of a question: 
naire returned by 145 schools (a 100% re- 
turn) in which 16 schools (11%) required a 
separate course in photogrammetry for the 
BSCE degree, and 41 schools (28%) have an 
elective course in photogrammetry. The 
average credit for these courses was 2 2.6 se- 
mester hours. Also 75 schools (529%) reported 
that some instruction in photogrammetry 
was given as part of another course. Also in 
131 schools the average semester hours of re- 
quired instruction in surveying were 11.0 for 
the BSCE degree 
In a survey of equipment, stereoscopes 
were common but only three schools had 
second-order plotting instrument (Multiplex 
or Kelsh). 
The report contains many varied and in- 
teresting comments from professors expres- 
sing their opinions as to the place of photo- 
grammetry in engineering education.

es paper reports the results of 149 ques- 
tionnaires returned from 150 schools with ac- 
credited engineering programs, replies from 
20 of 30 technical institutes contacted, and 61 
answers to questionnaires sent to 97 schools 
which had no accredited curriculum in engi- 
neering. From the accredited sc hools with a 
C.E. curriculum, 16 schools (11%) required a 
course in photogrammetry for the BSCE de- 
gree, with an average credit value of 2.4 se- 
mester hours. Also 48 schools reported an 
elective course available and 62 schools re- 
ported some instruction in photogrammetry 
as a separate section of a different course. 
In the survey of equipment, most schools 
reported some stereoscopes, parallax bars, 
scales, micro rules, mechanical triangulators, 
and similar small devices. Eighteen schools 
had a second-order plotter (Multiplex, Kelsh, 
or Balplex).

This report is concerned primarily with the 
amount of time devoted to instruction in all 
types of surveying by most schools with a 
civil engineering curriculum. The question- 
naire returned by 158 schools shows that 16 
schools required a separate course in photo- 
grammetry for the BSCE degree and 44 
schools with an elective course available 
Also it is stated that the average requirement 
of surveying credits for the BSCE degree had 
dropped to 7.7 semester hours.
