Geodesy and Geoinformatics
3 years, 180 ECTS
Started 2005/06

10. 115 new students in 2004/05
224 new students in 2005/06 !!! Bologna

Enrolment quota was increased (+20)
Special laws (+26)
Some students failed the 1st year (+63)

11. Undergraduate studies philosophy:
Not to give students too much knowledge or skils:
Just enough to be good collaborators, or
To continue with graduate studies

12. Body of Knowledge (BoK)
Beginning of 2005
BoK = A list of knowledge and skills every student needs to acquire after each year of study
Contents of particular subjects were determined according to the BoK
Subjects were named in the second phase
Professors were selected after that
The proposed undergraduate (and graduate) program was reviewed nationally and internationally
National Committee for Higher Education
The Ministry of Science, Education and Sport

13. Competences:
Determination of the Earh’s size and shape and measurement of all data necessary for defining the size, position, shape and contours of a part of the Earth, and their changes.
Placement and positioning of objects in space and time, and other engineering works on, above or under the Earth’s surface.
Production and updating of plans, maps and other documents.

14. Gathering and application of spatial data using close range methods, and aerial and satellite survey.
Determining the position of public and private land boundaries, including national and international borders, and recording the land in adequate registers.
Maintenance of geoinformation systems (GIS), and gathering and storing data in these systems.

15. Visualisation and communication by means of maps and mobile digital devices.
Assessment of values and real estate management, either urban or rural area, land or buildings.
Familiarity with geospatial services for various user groups.

16. Undergraduate studies ends with:
baccalaureus/baccalaurea (prvostupnik/prvostupnica)
in GEODESY AND GEOINFORMATICS
Jobs:
Geodetic surveyor
GIS collaborator
Cadastral surveyor
Collaborator in photogrammetry

25. Assistants versus courses

26. Professors versus courses

27. Organisational aspects versus courses

28. Difficulty versus courses

29. Average grade versus courses

30. First Bologna BSc experiences
Optimal number of new BSc students is 150 a year according to space, equipment and the staff
224 enroled in 2005/06
Unexpected many students !!!
Not enough professors and assistants
Lack of larger lecture rooms
Lack of money
Etc.
Everything against continuous student’s knowledge evaluation, mentor work with smaller groups, ...

31. First Bologna BSc experiences
224 students enroled in 2005/06
Only 115 entered 3rd semester with the possibility to take all subjects from the 3rd semester
Only 23 with max 60 (=30+30) ECTS

32. First Bologna BSc experiences
2006/07
263 students entered the classification exam
144 enroled
90 financed by the Ministry
25 for personal needs
29 according to the spec. Law
2007/08
115 planned – 124 enroled
