Established in 1937, the Department of Geodetic Engineering is one of departments in the University of the Philippines Diliman College of Engineering.
Academic Programs
The Department of Geodetic Engineering offers Bachelor of Science in Geodetic Engineering program, and a Master of Science in Geomatics Engineering. It also provides technical training and upgrading programs for government personnel and private practitioners through its TCAGP short courses in geosciences and geospatial technology.
Undergraduate : BS Geodetic Engineering
Geodetic Engineers provide vital geospatial information needed for societal and economic development. With the growing demand for public works and infrastructure, the development of modern information systems, coupled with increasing awareness in managing resources and protecting the environment, the importance of geospatial data and information becomes essential. The University of the Philippines (UP) offers a 5-year BS Geodetic Engineering program, geared towards balancing theory and techniques in geomatics, for high-precision earth measurement using advanced field instrumentation and computing technologies.
Graduate : MS Geomatics Engineering
Geomatics is the modern term referring to the science, engineering, and art in collecting and managing geographically referenced information. It integrates all the means to acquire and manage spatial data as part of scientific, technical, legal and administrative operations involved in the process of production and management of Earth-based data. The MS GmE program caters to the needs of the industry and the government by equipping students with skills to develop the tools and techniques to capture and manage spatial data.
