Education and Training Surveying and the Spatial Sciences University of Tasmania Challenges and Opportunities Jon Osborn 29 th February 2013

Growing university participation rates Source: Universities Australia 2013Universities Australia Total university enrolments doubled in 15 years (13% p.a. growth)

But: at a cost to Government … Commonwealth Government funding: about $10 billion pa growing at about 10% pa

UTAS response to the squeeze BIG CHANGES Strong business focus Big research agenda Big growth agenda School mergers: large business units Curriculum reviews: efficiency / affordability Large investments in large classes for large returns …

Reflections on our industry sector …. Small industry, and with workforce capability requirements distributed: horizontally across an array of sectors vertically from basic spatial literacy skills to advanced surveying, spatial sciences, systems development and systems management

The S&SS industry …. A “matrix” of education and training demand …. Industry Sectors Civil infrastructure Environment Emergency Services Agriculture Local Government NRM Planning Policing Commerce Forestry Health. Policy Occupational roles ICT: Spatial Software Development ICT: Spatial Systems Implementation ICT: Spatial Systems Management Surveying specialist Spatial Science specialist Occupation + spatial R&D Occupation + spatial analysis Occupation + spatial data entry Occupation + spatial desktop enquiries Basic desktop skills Spatial literacy

UTAS programs in Surveying and Spatial Sciences How do we position in this environment?

GIS and Remote Sensing Major and Minor Year 1 GIS 1 Remote Sensing 1 GIS 2 Remote Sensing 2 GIS 3GNSS Remote Sensing 3Research Project Geography Geology Computing Information Systems Agricultural Science = INCREASED ENROLMENTS

Semester 1 Surveying PracticeLand Law Land Development Planning Professional Practice Semester 2 20 week professional experience – work placements Graduate Diploma of Land Surveying About 90% retention from the 3-year degree into the GradDipLandSurveying. Expecting 20 students in the GradDip in 2015: Professional Experience places will be needed! This 3+1 program is resilient to small enrolments.

How does this fit with the industry…. Minor and Major in BSc. GradCert, GradDip and Masters coursework BSurvSpSc GradDipLandSurveying Some options – but not yet substantive Not UTAS priority UTAS is well positioned to meet some of this demand Industry Sectors Civil infrastructure Environment Emergency Services Agriculture Local Government NRM Planning Policing Commerce Forestry Health.

But … current discussions in Tasmania: How do we ensure education and training to support all sectors? How do we ensure access from all workplaces, across the State? How do we achieve efficiencies through growth and innovative course delivery? How do we recruit into the BSurvSpSc What role UTAS? What role TAFE sector? What role K-12 schools and colleges? What role Private Sector providers? What role interstate/international providers?

Thanks.
