Bachelor of Science in Geodetic Engineering
The Department
The Bachelor of Science in Geodetic Engineering (BSGE) has been offered under the Department of Geodetic Engineering (DGE) since 2003. The department is one of the best-performing academic departments at VSU owing to its 100% passing rate in the licensure examinations. Graduates from this department have since topped in licensure examinations and have been in-demand in companies.
DGE offers both Certificate in Geodetic and Geomatics Technology (CGGT), and Diploma in Bachelor of Science in Geodetic Engineering.
Goals
- Produce highly competent and world-class professionals in geodetic engineering;
- Generate and disseminate relevant knowledge and technologies that lead to improved productivity, profitability and sustainability of land and its resources;
- Establish dynamic linkages with industries and other agencies to geodetic engineering; and
- Provide functional and adequate infrastructure and related facilities essential to a world-class instruction, innovative research and extension, sustainable resource generation and efficient administration.
Objectives
Instructions
- Provide leadership in planning, implementing, and monitoring geodetic engineering projects and programs; and
- Occupy supervisory positions in private and public organizations; locally and internationally.
Research
- Develop research and extension manpower capabilities and research facilities;
- Secure funding for market-driven and need oriented research, development and extension (RDE) projects;
- Promote geodetic engineering science and technology (S&T) for sustainable development; and
- Establish linkages for collaborative research and extension projects.
Program Educational Objectives
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are statements that describe what graduates are expected to achieve within 3-5 years after graduation.
