These projects were developed by teachers of DCart and students
of. CECart.
3.6. Work Market
The table 2 shows the total number of professionals
undergraduated by CECart and their situation in front of the
work market. Consider that 30 is the number of new students
each year. In July 1977, thirty began and thirteen finished in
July 1982; in March 1978 other thirty new students enrolled and
nineteen get finished and so on. Therefore, from 180 enrolled
Students until 1982, 113 had concluded the course that means
63$. Nowadays, 82 (circa of 73$ of engineers) work in
Cartographic Engineering.
It does not exist a survey of Cartographic Engineering work
market by distinct areas. It is estimated that twenty to thirty
undergraduated students are working in P&RS, some of them
enrolled with graduate programs (MSc and PhD). It is also
estimated that perhaps more of the half those work in
Cartographic Engineering have contact with P&RS end-products.

4. PERSPECTIVES TO THE FUTURE
Recently, UNESP has created the career of "researcher". A
professional may be enrolled since he or she has an equivalent
title of PhD. In this career research has preference but the
researcher may also lecture and advise. This will certainly
develop the general level of research at UNESP. Although, in
the specific area of P&RS of DCart, unhappily, this cannot
change the situation because of lack of PhD people in P&RS. A
possible solution is to appeal for foreign researches.
It is expected a new era for DCart from current year because of
greater research projets. Possibly, they will be developed with
other important education and research instituitions. It
believes that the educational aspect will be benefited with the
creation of new conditions for participation of CECart students.
