During six semesters, students acquire basic knowledge and skills in the field of study program such as the establishment of geodetic networks, geodetic surveys, processing and visualization of data thus obtained, land information management, and geoinformation systems management. Other knowledge and skills can be defined by students through elective courses. They have the opportunity to expand their knowledge in informatics, mathematics, foreign languages, business communication and management, geoinformation management, geodetic astronomy, and cartography. In the fifth semester, students perform professional practice organized by the Faculty. Successfully passed the Final Exam in three subjects is a condition for completion of studies. During their studies, students master working with general and specialist software tools that they use to create project assignments and perform exercises. In this way, the student can successfully participate in the work of geodetic companies and other institutions that rely on spatial data in their business processes, and especially on official data from the cadastre and land registers. After successfully passing all exams and other obligations from the prescribed program and taking the final exam in three subjects, Bachelor of Engineering in geodesy and geoinformatics acquired the following competencies:
Knowledge and understanding
Understand the role of geodesy, geoinformatics, and spatial data in the modern world, know the measurement systems, methods, and technologies of surveying and collecting spatial data.
Know the theoretical principles, procedures of computational processing, and visualization of geodetic survey data.
Know the registers of real estate and interests in them, understand land management measures and land valuation methods.
Know the regulations and administrative framework important for geodesy and geoinformatics, regulations on copyright, publication, and exchange of spatial data.
Understand mathematical methods and physical laws applied in geodesy and geoinformatics.
Application of knowledge and understanding
Apply knowledge of mathematics and physics in recognizing, formulating, and solving problems in the field of geodesy and geoinformatics.
Master the proper handling of geodetic instruments and appropriate land surveying instruments and performing geodetic measurements.
Solve practical tasks of geodetic surveys, spatial data collection, real estate valuation, and real estate management.
Establish geodetic networks for the needs of geodetic measurements and staking out in a way that ensures the required quality of the performed work.
Prepare geodetic elaborates for the purposes of preparation, maintenance, and registration in the cadastre and land register, as well as elaborates for engineering works.
Make plans, maps, and related representations using modern methods and technology based on measured data and other originals.
Determine and interpret the sizes, properties, and relationships of objects in space based on measured data, spatial databases, plans, and maps.
Maintain topographic, cartographic, maritime navigation, and land information systems, integrate and visualize spatial information.
Use information technology (IT) in solving geodetic and geoinformatics tasks.
Making conclusions and judgments
Make conclusions based on the performed computational processing and interpretation of geodetic survey data and obtained results.
Identify problems and tasks in the application of geodetic and geoinformation principles and methods and choose the correct procedures for their solution.
Presentations and teamwork
Prepare official public documents, reports, graphic and cartographic representations with the results of the measurement of spatial objects.
To present the results obtained by applying geodesy and geoinformatics to the involved parties, and experts in geodetic and related professions.
Learning skills and ethics
Monitor and adopt new technological achievements in the field of geodetic surveying, geoinformation systems, location-based services, and changes in regulations and standards.
Plan the continuation of academic education in the field of geodesy and geoinformatics or related disciplines and develop a culture of lifelong and professional education.
Study Program Elaborate in Croatian and English.
