Panel discussion: ** Problems of Education in Photogrammetry "'

The panel was introduced by the Chairman, who reviewed the most important conclusions from the report of
the Working Group on Education. The presentations of individual panel members were aimed at problems of
inadequate general information on photogrammetry, at legal and ethical aspects of its professional recognition,
and at the position of photogrammetry among other related fields, such as land surveying, civil engineering
and geosciences.
It was stated several times that difficulties with recruiting students result, either from the lack of any
information on methods of measurement at the high school level, or from the feeling that photogrammetry is
not a real independent profession. This seems to be discouraging, especially to graduate students.
