I. Introduction (Section I) 
To obtain a comprehensive picture about the photogrammetric education and research activity in Canada 
for the reporting period the National Reporter sent a questionnaire to more than 100 institutions 
and agencies. 37 replies were received. The results are tabulated in Table I and will be discussed 
4 in more details in Section II of this report. In Section III some information is given on photogram- 
metric text books used and on journals with photogrammetric contributions as well as on the activity 
of national societies. 
II. Photogrammetric Education & Research Activity (Section II) 
e The results of this survey is contained in the Report of Commission VI and includes some 
institutions which did not forward replies to the questionnaire, but from which it is known that they 
are involved in téaching photogrammetry, photo interpretation, and remote sensing. 
From this report, the following conclusions can be drawn: 
tic l. There are at least 21 university level institutions which offer courses in photogrammetry photo 
interpretation and/or remote sensing. The number of courses varies from 1 to 28. These courses 
are given by a total of at least 27 university professors or instructors (full time or part time). 
2. There are at least 29 institutions on the technologist and/or technician level offering courses 
in photogrammetry, photointerpretation and/or remote sensing. The number of courses varies from 
1 to several courses. These courses are given by a total of at least 37 instructors (full time 
or part time). 
3. The number of teaching assistants per professor or instructor at university level institutions 
varies between 0 and 1, and between 0 and 2 at technologist and/or technician level institutions, 
respectively. 
4. The number of technicians (Technical Personnel) per professor and/or instructor at university 
level institutions varies between 0 and 1, and between 0 and 2 at technologist and/or technician 
level institutions. 
e o 5. The number of secretaries (Office personnel) per professor and/or instructor at uiiversity level 
institutions varies between 0 and 5, and between 0 and 1 at technologist and/or technician level 
institutions. 
6. The value of photogrammetric equipment at educational institutions, research agencies, and research 
sections of private enterprises varies between a few hundred dollars and more than half a million 
dollars each. The total value of photogrammetric equipment at educational institutions, in rea- 
search sections of government agencies and private enterprises is in excess of $3 million. 
7. Annual funds made available for photogrammetric research & development in educational institutions 
in government agencies and private enterprises might be in excess of $1.5 million of which about 
$400,000 goes to educational institutions, mainly at the university level. 
8. There are more than about 70 professional photogrammetry researchers, (university level) and more 
than about 50 photogrammetry research technicians in educational institutions, government agencies 
and private enterprises. 
9. At university level educational institutions there are enrolled at least 18 doctoral candidates and 
at least 36 M.S. candidates specializing in photogrammetry, photointerpretation and remote sensing. 
At the B.S. level (under-graduate level) there are enrolled at least 1100 students taking one or 
3. several courses in photogrammetry, photointerpretation or remote sensing. Together with the 
graduate students, this represents at least 0.257 of the total student enrollment at all Canadian 
university level institutions. At the present time Canada produces per year at least about 3 doc- 
e Se tors and, at least about 6 M.S., specializing in photogrammetry, photointerpretation and remote 
: sensing. The number of annual graduations on the B.S. level and refering to students having taken
