Another form of education in engineering photogrammetry is the 
hihgly specialized postgraduate study organized by Prof.Z.Sitek. 
This type of course may be attended by employees of geodetic 
companies. The program consists of 96 hours of lectures and- 
104 hours of labs. Until now this course have been attended by 
45 engineers from all over the Country. The organizers of 
special studies have a very strong hope that the new specialists, 
will develop a good trend for engineering photogrammetry. 
As the development of modern photogrammetry is connected with 
fast progress in computer science, therefore it seems to be 
obvious that we must broaden the program in this direction. Our 
audience have got their university degrees quite few years ago, 
most of them before the computer era, and they need special 
courses. It is worthy to recall the words of US-scientist of 
Polish origin, Norbert Winer, who died in 1964»He said, that the 
direction of further development of the societies have been 
prejudged by development of computers; the societies can not- 
run away from that. 
The improvement of engineering staff qualifications can be 
achieved by the study-program modification. In several countries 
the didactic programming is widely utilized and gives a very 
good results when learning, memorisation or verification of the 
passive knowledge of a subject is concerned. It is obvions that 
by raising up the effectiveness of teaching the basis, one could 
gain time for highly specialized courses. The rules of programmed 
teaching are: small portions, the activisation of students, 
immediate self-evaluationand correction of errors, individuali 
sation of speed and scope of teaching for each student. This 
type of teaching is widely considered in USA, Prance, UK,U3SK, 
GPPt and is several other countries. Unfortunately the adequate 
didactic machines and handbooks for photogrammetry are lacking 
in Poland. 
The profile of teaching is a very important problem; the verifi 
cation of programs, which is repeated every few years, should be 
based on wide recogition of opinion of specialists from all over 
the country. 
>Tt is well known that the universities have, beside their didac 
tic functions, also other duties, namely the research and disse 
mination of new achievements born all over the world and also 
born in their own laboratories. In the Soviet Union I met the 
rules that a Doctors thesis can be defended only after its 
utilization in practice. That rule favours the reality of activi 
ties of young scientists and promotes fast benefits in enterpri 
ses. The scientific publications in all technical periodicals 
/not only in scientific/ should be verified under the criterion 
of their range, novelty, objectivity of estimation and conclu 
sions as well as completness of ÿifomations for practical utili 
zation. The description of - let s sçty - the method of survey 
useful for civil engineering should be published in photograra- 
metric or geodetic magazines and repeated as a short resume in 
highly specialized civil engineering magazines. One should remem 
ber, however, to use the level of description fitting the adequate 
level of the potential reader. This would prevent wrong ideas or 
even luck of informations on the feasibility of engineering 
photogrammetry.
