CONCLUSION 
The rapid development of science and engineering, 
and the changing needs and problems of society, 
makes it necessary to define new goals for education 
in engineering sciences. Emphasis has been shifted 
in the direction of more basic subjects and less 
applications and professional skills. The trend for 
surveying engineering curriculum is more 
information technology related to land use, land 
law, land economics, environmental engineering, 
remote sensing, digital photogrammetry, digital 
cartography, GPS and GIS/LIS technology. 
At the time of writing this report, the School of 
Surveying at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, 
Stockhoim, is in the process of designing new 
curriculae and syllabi. The intention is to start the 
new program beginning from the academic year 
1993/94.
