CONCLUSION
The rapid development of science and engineering,
and the changing needs and problems of society,
makes it necessary to define new goals for education
in engineering sciences. Emphasis has been shifted
in the direction of more basic subjects and less
applications and professional skills. The trend for
surveying engineering curriculum is more
information technology related to land use, land
law, land economics, environmental engineering,
remote sensing, digital photogrammetry, digital
cartography, GPS and GIS/LIS technology.
At the time of writing this report, the School of
Surveying at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH,
Stockhoim, is in the process of designing new
curriculae and syllabi. The intention is to start the
new program beginning from the academic year
1993/94.
