Bandung-lndonesia 1999 106 THE INTERNET AND ITS PROSPECT FOR SPATIAL INFORMATION EDUCATION AND TRAINING AT DEPARTMENT OF GEODETIC ENGINEERING OF THE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY BANDUNG (ITB) Irawan Sumarto Ph.D. & Dr.T.Lukman Aziz Department of Geodetic Engineering ITB irawan@gd.itb.ac.id & tlaziz@gd.itb.ac.id Keywords: curriculum, the Internet ABSTRACT A degree course in surveying has been offered in Indonesia for over than 45 years. The new developments in Information Technology such as the Internet open a new prospect to integrate this technology into curriculum. This paper will review the Surveying and Spatial Information courses at ITB and discussed the Internet prospect for education. Course content and facilities will be presented. 1. INTRODUCTION Undergraduate degrees in Surveying which are typically designated Bachelor of engineering degrees, are offered at six Indonesian Universities. Two of them are state universities that are Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB) and University of Gajah Mada (UGM). Institute of Technology Bandung has been involved in the formal education of Surveyors since 1950 when the Department of Geodetic Engineering was established. The Department currently offers a comprehensive course at both undergraduate (S-l) and post-graduate (S-2) levels. The Department as part of a continuing education program also regularly offers short courses and workshops covering a variety of specialist topics. This reflects the commitment of the surveying profession to raise the general level of formal education for new practitioners, and the need to provide established professionals with refresher courses on aspects of changing technology. This paper outlines the course content and facilities at ITB. A list of photogrammetric laboratory is also presented. 2. CURRICULUM The S-l curriculum is divided into eight semesters for the completion of the Bachelor Degree course. The general structure of the cuniculum covers the following five parts of studies: The general foundation, the science foundation, and the technical foundation, the professional subjects and elective subjects (Table 1).

Substantial changes were made to all its courses in order to meet the new challenges. During the four years course (8 semesters) of study, students must took a minimal of 144 credit semester units (SKS) or equivalent to 2304 contact hours in the classroom (Sumarto, 1998). An average contact hour per week is 18 hours for the total of 16 weeks per semester Subjects that are related directly to Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and GIS has a total of approximately 400 contact hours. These subjects are obligatory within the course of studies in ITB. A list of S-l curriculum is presented in the attachment. At the S-2 level curriculum is divided into two main streams that are Advanced Surveying and Spatial Information Technology. During two years of study for Master level (S-2), students must take a 36 SKS or equivalent to 576 contact hours. 3. FACILITIES In the last two years there were around 600 applicants each year that choose Geodetic engineering as one of their
