28 Thus, before we can explain the photogrammetry course offerings at the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zürich in section 5, we have to address briefly the comprehensive graduate program in surveying in section 4. The Division VIII "Kulturtechnik und Vermessung" ("rural engineering and surveying") of ETH Zürich is responsible for the curricula in surveying, rural engineering and environmental engineering. In 1989 environmental engineering was introduced as a brand new program and the other two curricula were reorganised substantially in order to consider the latest developments of the related disciplines. nd working rives a brief engineer.

The new technological and professional environment of the surveying engineer An analysis of the elementary conditions which are currently causing a profound change in the technical tools, professional requirements, job descriptions, and working conditions of the surveying engineer leads to the following factors: (a) Fast development of new technologies (b) Diminishing relevance of classical surveying tasks and products (c) New conditions, orientations and needs of human society Caused by rapid advancements in electronic data acquisition and processing the professional requirements for the surveying engineer have changed in an irreversible manner. Developments in microelectronics, sensor technology and computer science have influenced, and continue to do so, all areas of scientific and technical surveying activity: .the acquisition, administration, processing, analysis and representation of spatial data. Among the most prominent new systems, techniques and procedures are: • Precision point positioning with satellites (GPS) and inertial systems (INS) • Dynamic GPS-supported photogrammetric triangulation • Automatic and semi-automatic robot theodolites • Digital and real-time systems in photogrammetry • Computer support and computer control in data acquisition and processing • Design, construction, operation and application of GIS • Compilation, administration and maintenance of digital maps Lo gicallv, these new technologies are replacing many of the old ones. This process will continue, and most probably even intensify. Therefore the pure knowledge of facts about procedures which are quickly becoming obsolete turns out to become a burden, and even hampers innovative thinking schemes and flexibility. On the other hand these new technologies open up novel fields of application and they stimulate the development of better methods, procedures and products. Within these new fields of application the surveying engineer meets increasingly specialists from other disciplines (computer scientists, system engineers, electrical engineers, communication engineers, applied physicists, etc.), with whom he has to cooperate or compete. These experts are mostly equipped with a broader and deeper knowledge of mathematics, physics and other supporting subjects. Often they also provide superior special knowiedge of relevant processes and systems. Traditionally a surveyor was considered to be some sort of explorer, w'hose task w'as to lay the foundations for settlement and development of remote areas and to maintain geodetic networks and maps. Subsequently he was also given die job to record and administer the spatial location and size of real estate for tax evaluation and other political and economical purposes. Due to the large amount of fieldw'ork that w-as necessary to get the job done one major requirement for candidates for the surveying profession w'as "good health and robust physical condition". Today, with the lesser demand for extensive
