ABSTRACT 
UNESP (Universidade Estadual Paulista) is an university which 
"campi" are distributed for several cities of the State of Sao 
Paulo. At Presidente Prudente, western of the state, the IPEA 
(Institute of Planning and Environmental Studies) offers the 
undergraduate course of Cartographic Engineering, since 1977, 
under direct responsability of the Department of Cartography. 
In this course, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (P&RS) add 
750 hours that are equivalent to 16% pf the grand total (4710 
hours in 5 years) and to 27% of the professional part (2820 
hours in the 3 last years). 
This paper intends to review the activities of the Department 
of Cartography in P&RS during 10 years of existence of the 
undergraduate course of Cartographic Engineering. Besides, the 
paper analyses the perspectives to the future, considering 
mostly the cartographic necessities of a large country as 
Brazil.
