1. PRESENTATION
The Department of Cartographic, Geodetic Engineering and Photogrammetry of University of Jaén is,
st
pursuant to that set forth in the Organic Law 6/2001 of 21 December thereby regulating Universities,
the basic institution in charge of organising, coordinating and developing the research and short courses
of the field of knowledge bearing the same name. This task is performed following teaching and research
programme of the University, and supporting those activities and teachers’ initiatives pursuant to the
teaching and research programme of University of Jaén.
It was founded in 1993 coinciding with the creation of the own Jaén University. Since then, it has shown
great growth up to present, having nowadays a total of 33 lecturers, 3 administration and services staff
members (2 laboratory experts and 1 administration clerk) and 2 grant holders. Courses are given to
around 1000 students divided up into a Technical (3- year Degree) Engineering Degree in Topography, an
Engineering Degree in Geodesy and Cartography, a Technical Degree in Industrial Engineering and a
Technical Degree in Mines, qualified at the Higher Polytechnic Schools of Jaén and Linares. It offers an
own doctorate programme given since 1996, at present integrated in the Inter-university Programme
called “Engineering Science and Technology in Geodesy and Cartography”.
The university counts on 3 research groups of the Andalusia Plan of Research (APR) with heading in the
own Department: Cartographic Engineering (TEP-164), created in 1997 with a total of 10 researches
from the Universities of Jaén, Extremadura and Granada; Jaén Micro-Geodesy (RNM-282), also created
in 1997 with a total of 9 researchers from the Universities of Jaén, Madrid Complutense, Malaga and
Granada; and Topometric and Photogrammetry Systems (TEP-213) created in 2002, with 8 researchers
from the Universities of Jaén, Cadiz and Madrid Polytechnic. The research activity focuses on aspects of
cartographic production (quality and generalization), geographical information systems (GIS), terrain
digital models (TDM), remote-sensing, air and terrestrial photogrammetry, cadastre and valuations,
geodesy, global navigation satellite and positioning systems (GNSS), movements and deformations
control, environmental and natural risks applications.
This is a Department formed by a young and dynamic human group that, however, enjoys a great
experience in teaching and researching tasks, and also in innovation, what it is reflected on their many
publications (international books and magazines), research projects (at European, national, regional, etc
level), and research and service rendering contracts. As a result of such activity, there have been set
cooperation with several institutions (cartographic institutes, ministries, departments, regional councils
and town councils) and companies of this field.
The Department aims are focused at present on a commitment to providing quality and excellence in
teaching and researching, the real and compromised adaptation to the European Higher Education Area
and the technologic innovation; all for the development of its several scopes and levels in the
denominated Society of Knowledge and Information.
2. HISTORY
1.
Department creation (1989-1993)
The Department of Cartographic, Geodetic Engineering and Photogrammetry was founded in 1993
st
coinciding with the creation of University of Jaén (5/1993 Act of 1 July thereby regulating the Creation
th
of the University of Jaén, BOJA Official Gazette of the Council of Andalusia No 72 of 6 July, BOE Official
TH
State Gazette of 25 August) which segregated it from Granada University, that used to offer the studies
provided by the University of Jaén School- later Campus- and the Technical Schools of Jaén and Linaresprior to that date.
However, the Department precedents go back to the academic year 1989/90 with the introduction of
the Technical Engineering Degree in Topography (3- year Degree) , offered in the then called Polytechnic
University School of Jaén (EUPJ), becoming then the first university offering this Degree in Andalusia. This
was the focus where university activities related to Topography and related disciplines started.
The Department rose from the germen of a group of lecturers from the Knowledge Area of Cartographic,
Geodetic Engineering and Photogrammetry which used to be then included in the Department of
Graphic Expression in Engineering at Granada University. As coordinator of the academic field of the
University of Jaén, it was appointed the lecturer José Luis de la Cruz González. The field achieved
sustained growth since 1989 when were set the referred ITT studies that gathered the main part of the
teaching load of the Department lecturers, reaching a great number of lecturers at the moment of its
creation.
th
The Department was effectively created on 16 December 1993 date at which it was held the first
Department Council with a total participation of 14 lecturers. In fact, 10 of them rendered their service
full-time and 4 of them part-time, but all of them working for the field of knowledge of Cartographic,
Geodetic Engineering and Photogrammetry.
The lecturer Antonio Abolafia Valero, deceased in 2001, took the reins of the headship, being the
secretary the lecturer Manuel Torres Cantero. The Department was physically located at the underside of
the Polytechnic University School of Jaén (popularly known as “Peritos” – expert engineers- as from the
fifties, the studies of Industrial Engineers were provided in this school).
2.
Implementation of higher studies and moving to the “Magisterio”Teaching- building (1993-1998)
This initial period of the Department ended a year later, as during the next academic year 1994-95, the
studies of Engineering in Geodesy and Cartography were implemented. As for this implementation, the
University of Jaén together with the Polytechnic University of Valencia were pioneers in Spain. These
second cycle studies reached great importance in the consolidation and development of the
Department. Yet, this consolidation had started to be effective after several lecturers became full
lecturers (a total of 9 had become full lecturers in the University School in 1995).
In 1994, coinciding with the start of the Engineering studies in Geodesy and Cartography, the
Department achieved a great expansion as 8 new lecturers joined it. This process continued during the
following years and up to academic year 1996-97 it gathered 28 lecturers in total. The starting of
providing higher university degrees studies involved that the Polytechnic University School becoming
then the Higher Polytechnic School of Jaén (EPS). The EPS completed its offer of studies by including new
higher university degrees in the following years. Hence, it implemented degrees in Industrial
Organisation Engineering, Computing Engineering and Industrial Engineering.
The lecturers came from diverse origin. In one hand, the first Doctors joined the Department (Agronomy
Engineers, Geologists and Mathematicians), and in the other hand, former students of Topography that
had completed their studies in University of Jaén, also started to work for the Department. As an
outcome of this expansion, new offices were established on the first floor of the building, known as EPS,
as a transitory solution. Later on, at the beginning of the academic year 1996/97, they moved to the
neighbour building located at calle Virgen de la Cabeza, ”Magisterio”- Teaching- as up to that year it used
to offer those studies. This moving to a new building allowed a quite remarkable improvement of the
School and Department dependencies (classrooms, laboratories, computers room, instrumentation
storage, offices...), although the discomfort of an old and not renewed building was still noticed.
The implement of IGC studies was a basic part in the Department development. It is important to
highlight that being a pioneer in its implement; it somehow turned out to be a reference point at
national level. In fact, a relevant percentage of students that had studied the Technical Engineering
Degree in Topography at other universities (Extremadura University, Madrid Polytechnic University,
Basque Country University, Cataluña Polytechnic University) together with those who studied in Jaén,
had finally graduated here during the first academic years of the Degree. The new range of studies
indeed satisfied the learning preoccupations of many Technical engineers in Topography, what lead to
reaching a great number of students during the first academic years. This fact, together with the relevant
increase in the number of students interested in studying at the ITT, allowed the Department expansion
up to the point that it practically duplicated.
Likewise, the Department made a greater investment in teaching and research material, such as the
topographic and geodetic material (total stations and the first GPS receptors, the fix antenna of GPS
located at the Las Lagunillas Campus, the receiving antenna of the NOAA satellites and Meteosat,
photogrammetry equipments, etc).
Another important consequence was the creation in 1996 of a doctorate programme that indeed
completed the learning offer in Cartography, Geodesy and related sciences, and that provided service to
the graduates of the IGC, some of which worked as lecturers for the Department and also to some other
professionals of different degrees that required special learning in this field. The doctors lecturers of the
Department were in charge of teaching this programme in most cases, as they had joined the
department in the previous years, with the support of well known and prestige lecturers from other
Universities (Madrid Polytechnic, Valencia Polytechnic, Cantabria…), being its first coordinator the
lecturer Francisco Javier Ariza López.
In those years, the effects of the Department new configuration were clearly noticed in its headship, as
under the headship of the lecturer Antonio Abolafia, appeared as secretaries the lecturers Antonio
Alcalá Jiménez (1995-1997), also prematurely deceased some time afterwards, and Antonio Ruiz
Armenteros (1997-1998). Other positions were occupied by members of the Department such as the
management of the Cultural Activities Secretariat of the Office of the Vice-President of University
Extension by the lecturer Antonio Garrido Almonacid from 1995 to 1999. In this year, the lecturer
Marina Cruz Rodríguez occupied this position, and then he was appointed as the Director of the Hall of
Residence Domingo Savio. The headship of the Studies Plan Secretariat of the Office of the VicePresident of Academic Organization and Teachers was occupied by the lecturer Antonio Alcalá Jiménez in
the period from 1997 to 1999. The sub- managements for the EPS and ITT and IGVC were in charge of
the lecturers Manuel Torres Cantero and Carlos Pinilla Ruiz from 1995 to 1999, at the time that Francisco
Baena Villodres was the Director.
The continued expansion process of the Department generally culminated in the academic year 1998/99
with the entry of 4 new teachers, all of them engineers in Geodesy and Cartography from Jaén
University. From that moment, a new steady period started as in the following years it suffered a
decrease in the enrolment of students in the Degrees of ITT and IGC (particularly in the latest), which
would be traduced therefore into a phase of stability and consolidation of the Department lecturers
(around 30 lecturers) similar to the present one.
Stabilization, consolidation and projection of the Department (19982004)
In 1998, a new board of directors was appointed headed by the lecturer Jesús García Morant, already
retired, and also the lecturer Pedro Castro Guzmán in charge of the secretariat. Since this year and up to
2002, the consolidation and promotion process of the Department practically culminated in the present
configuration, with the presence of 2 lecturers, 4 permanent lecturers of university and 18 lecturers of
University School.
At this stage, once the studies of first, second and third cycle were consolidated, doctors joined the
department and the first research groups were created, the efforts mainly focused on an improvement
of the Department research quality. To this end, research projects at different levels were developed
(national, regional, local and of the own University) as well as contracts were entered into with several
institutions and companies for research and services rendering.
In the other hand, the doctorate programme likely underwent a growing process as it coincided with the
new studies structure pursuant to RD1998. It was provided to 11 students in two-year periods
1999/2001 and 2001/2003 when the lecturers Jorge Delgado García and Francisco Javier Cardenal
Escarcena were in charge of the coordination while the lecturer Francisco Javier Ariza López was
appointed for the sub-management of the IGC of the EPS, at the same time that Manuel Crespo Alonso
directed the ITT sub-management. Besides that, the first doctors were awarded this qualification by the
st
Department; actually the reading of the 1 doctoral thesis took place in 2001 and another 2 more in
2002. Furthermore, some other lecturers that ended their studies years before outside of University of
Jaén allowed that the Department could reach the number of 10 Doctors in 2002.
From year 2001, enrolment decreased as abovementioned, due to a clear consequence of birth rate
falling in the eighties, fact that it is noticed now in the University. This decrease was further noticed in
the IGC, as it was dragging out this the same problem apart from other two that were added to it. The
first one is that the recycling task and extension of studies had already fulfilled its function among the
ITT professionals. Therefore, the IGC was going to be specially nourished from university graduates in ITT
that have recently finished their studies and decided to continue them. The second one is related to
economic junctures such as the construction boom that during the first years of the century was really
amazing and that allowed students who had just been graduated to be immediately employed and even
to some students that had not even finished yet. The great professional demand for technical engineers
in Topography is going to lead to the higher university courses being affected due to lack of motivation
and time of the possible students.
The doctorate continues likewise dragging on the former problem, to which is added the finalisation of
third cycle studies by the Department staff (with some lecturers from others knowledge fields of the
University and even from other Universities such as Extremadura, Basque Country, etc.. that lack from
third cycle studies). As an outcome, in year 2003 the minimum number of 10 students required to start
the programme was not reached and therefore it was suspended. From year 2004 the third cycle studies
reappeared in University of Jaén as a part of an inter-university programme in which participate several
Universities (Madrid Complutense University, Valencia Polytechnic University, Salamanca University,
Cantabria University, Alcalá de Henares University and the own University of Jaén). This fact ensured not
only the continuance of the programme during three more two-year periods but also, it provided
students from other universities that joined Jaén programme.
3.
Moving to the new installations at Las Lagunillas Campus (20042008).
In 2004 started a new stage of the Department by virtue of two events that followed each other in time.
These are, on the one hand, the appointment of a new board of directors for the Department, with the
lecturer Jorge Delgado as Director while keeping the lecturer Pedro Castro Guzmán in the position of
Secretary, but on the other hand, the moving of the Department together with the rest of the EPS to the
new location at the University Campus of Las Lagunillas. This moving to a new building that was superbly
equipped meant a remarkable improvement of the installations, both in the lecturers’ dependencies and
in laboratories and seminaries, at the same time that it was equipped with teaching equipment
(topographic- geodetic material, computers room and some other equipment).
This fact therefore led to a new expansion phase of the Department that was reflected on the reading of
new doctoral thesis and also in an increase in number and entity of research contracts and projects,
many times headed in the own Department. Besides that, a quite stagnation in the number of students
(after a fall in the previous years), hinders the increase in the Department lecturers number, although it
is produced a promotion of the staff that still continues nowadays.
The management promoted some initiatives such as the creation of Teaching Units that would develop
lecturers’ coordination in certain fields that had become very extensive and complex. Also, it was
promoted a Department Evaluation towards quality improvement in teaching, researching,
administration and management that culminated in 2006 with the presentation of an evaluation report
detailing strong and weak points and improvement proposals that are still being developed in their
appropriate monitoring plan (initiated in 2007). Other performances of the Board of Directors
concerning administration and management have been the creation of an administrative procedural
manual, setting the economic management criteria for lecturers and the starting of the programme
contract in 2005. The programme contract of the Department is an agreement signed between the
former and the University (a reflection of the one entered into between the University and the Andalusia
Regional Government) and that generally sets a series of objectives to be fulfilled by the Department in
two outlines (compromise and quality) that are going to have a clear and growing incidence in the
Department budgets.
The last stage of the Department starts in 2007 with the appointment of the lecturer Tomás Fernández
Del Castillo as Director, replacing Jorge Delgado that joined the Office of the Vice -President of University
for Strategic Planning and Quality Control. During this stage, it takes place a slight increase in the
teaching staff, mainly due to keeping a steady number of enrolments in ITT, the entry of new adjunct
lecturers and assistant teachers as an outcome of the promotion of the most senior grant- holder
students of the Department that replaced some retired lectures.
In the latest times, the Department objectives focused on a commitment to having quality and
excellence in teaching and research, the real and compromised adaptation to the European Higher
Education Area and the technologic innovation, all for the development of its several scopes and levels in
the denominated Society of Knowledge and Information. Above all, the adaptation to the EHEA it means
a very important challenge for the Department at all levels. To start with, the development of new
studies plans in which the Department must have an important voice (especially in the new Degree in
Geomatics and Topography). In any case, on a long-term, the implement of the EHEA will mean a change
in the way of conceiving teaching, which shall be more focused in the autonomous learning of the
student. At the same time, it will promote students and teaches mobility and will be committed to
adapting teaching to new technologies and teaching innovation.

3. THE DEPARTMENT WITHIN UNIVERSITY OF JAÉN
1.
Students’ evolution
1.
Technical Engineering Degree in Topography
On the Technical Engineering Degree in Topography it was produced a first phase of amazing increase in
the number of students enrolled since its creation in the academic year 1989/90 up to the academic
year 1998/99, that coincided with the start of the Degree and the creation of the own University of Jaén,
that in this period also relevantly increased its number of students. Like this, it ranged from 50 students
of new enrolment in 1989/90 to more than 180 students in 1993/94, number that was kept with certain
ups and downs up to academic year 1997/98, when a few more than 150 students were enrolled.
After this first period, enrolments suddenly fell down (under 100 students) from academic year 1998/99
that was due, in one way, to a decrease in birth-rate from the eighties on, and also, to the increase of the
degrees offered by Jaén University. It was due to this more than to internals factor, as the degree enjoys
good prestige considering the employment rates that have always kept.
During the academic years 2000/01 and 2001/02, certain recovery took place probably due to the
informative activities on secondary schools and some others made by the Department of Cartographic,
Geodetic Engineering and Photogrammetry and by the own School. However, in the two following
academic years 2002/03 and 2003/04, a new decrease was contrasted calculating the number of new
students enrolled in about 60 students.
Finally, from year 2004/05 a new recovery was produced being calculated from 90 to 100 the number of
enrolments, with annual fluctuations that are kept up to present.
Chart 1. Evolution of the Number of entries for the ITT certificate
2.
Engineering in Geodesy and Cartography
This degree suffered a decreased in enrolments almost since it was created. However, it was particularly
remarked from academic year 1997/98 decreasing in 5 years from 60 students enrolled in that year to a
few more than 10 in 2001/02. The reasons for this continued decrease must be sought partially in the
birth rate decrease that was already affecting the ITT. Furthermore, it was mainly the creation of this
degree in other Universities what most affect it and also the fact that it was less the number of
professionals in Topography interested in completing their studies. Most of all, it was the high
employment rates of the Topographic Technical Engineering Degree, main source of students for this
degree, what caused this deep decrease.
From academic year 2001/02, the number is stabilized in minimum values although it shows certain
downwards tendency that appears to having been frustrated in the last year when certain recuperation
of enrolments took place.
2.
Lecturers' evolution
In general terms, it has been positive with a continued increase of permanent and total lecturers from
the creation of the Department, even though this increase was faster during the first years. From
academic year 1998/1999 certain stabilization in numbers of lectures around 30 was produced due to
the fall of students already referred to in the due paragraph.
During the first years, there took place a continued increase in the number of lecturers that in the shortterm became permanent lecturers (Permanent Lecturers in the University School TEUs) in a way that in
academic year 1993/94 when the Department was created, the number of lecturers was set in 14, half of
which are TEUs, 4 are adjunct lectures working full time (ATC) and 3 part time (ATC).
O the next year (1994/95) as a consequence of implementing the studies of IUGC and the strong
increase in the students enrolment in ITT, led to the contract of 8 lectures full time (ATC). In the
following years the expansion of the Department continued at good pace with new employment
contracts (between 2 and 3 per year), up to reaching 35 lecturers in 1998/99. At the same time but with
certain tardiness (a mean of 3 year), the lecturers working full time started to become permanent
lecturers, as much as permanent lecturers of the University School (TEUs) as permanent lecturers of the
University (TUs). In this way, the first TUs (doctors) of the Department joined it in 1996.
From that academic year, started a new period during which the increase of lecturers is blocked. Even
more, it showed a certain fall, as a result of noticing enrolment decrease in the two degrees.
It must be remarked the unfortunate coincidence of the decease of two Department lecturers in this
year. This fact, together with the transfer of some lecturers to other universities, finally stabilized their
number in 28-29. During this period, from 1998 to 2002, it is achieved the stabilization of high
percentage of lecturers in the Department, as TEUs, TUs and even creating the first lecturerships in the
Department (academic year 2001/02).
From that date, the number of lecturers was almost stable (period from 2002 to 2007), but from that
moment, a series of changes due to the retirement of 2 lecturers and the access to the Board of
Directors of another 2, and the stabilization of students together with lecturers’ promotion (new
doctors, six-year periods, projects, etc, that mean a discount on teaching loads). As an outcome, during
the academic years 2007/08 and 2008/09, 7 new lecturers joined the Department (2 assistant lecturers
and 5 adjunct lecturers to TP), that have reached the present number of 33 lecturers. Another
phenomenon during the last years has been the promotion of some TEUs to TUs.
3.
Participation in Governing Bodies
The Department has always kept certain representation in the University governing bodies, as much in
the bodies of the University itself, and of the different centres, more than ever in the Higher Polytechnics
School of Jaén where the main part of its teaching is provided.
Among the Governing Bodies, the Department has always relied on four managements of Secretariat
and one Office of the Vice-President of University. During the government of the University Rector Luis
Parras Guijosa, the lecturer Antonio Garrido Almonacid headed the Office of the Vice- President of
University Extension from 1995 to 1999, when he was appointed to manage the University Hall of
Residence Domingo Savio, holding this position up to year 2003. Later on, the lecturer Marina Cruz
Rodríguez was appointed for the position of Cultural Activities Director from 1999 to 2003, and the
lecturer Antonio Alcalá Jiménez hold the position of Director of the Studies Plan Secretariat in the Office
of the Vice -President of Academic Organization and Teaching from 1997 to 1999.
More recently, with the entry of a new rectory team in 2007 with the Rector Manuel Parras Rosa, the
lecturer Jorge Delgado García was appointed Vice-President of Strategic Planning and Quality
Management and the lecturer Manuel Alcázar Molina as Director of the Continuing Education
Secretariat inside the Office of the Vice-President of the University for European Convergence,
Postgraduate Courses and Continuing Education, positions that they still hold nowadays.
Likewise, the lecturer Jesús García Morant was a member of the Governing Body on behalf of the
Department Directors from 1999 to 2004. On the University Senate, representation has been raging
from 2 to 3 people, number kept up to present, and the lecturers members are Antonio Gil Cruz, Manuel
Alcázar Molina and Jorge Delgado García.
Concerning centres of studies, the Department has always relied on a relevant representation in the
Board of Directors of the Higher Polytechnic School of Jaén. In this way, from 1995 to 1999 it counted on
two tutors per Degree, one for the ITT, the lecturer Manuel Torres Cantero, and another one for IGC, the
lecturer Carlos Pinilla Ruiz. Shortly afterwards, with the appointment of a new board of directors under
the heading of Pedro Gómez Vidal, these positions were occupied from 1999 to 2004 by Manuel Crespo
Alonso and Francisco Javier Ariza López. From year 2004, upon the studies plan and degrees were
already experienced, the EPS started to share a sole tutor for the degrees in ITT and IGC, position that
was held by Francisco Javier Cardenal Escarcena, who continued holding this position even when Juan
Gómez Ortiz was appointed for the management of the EPS in 2006. At present, this lecturer occupies
the position of Academic Organization Tutor following the remodeling of the board of directors after the
reelection of Juan Gómez Ortiz as director of the EPS in 2008.
Likewise, it should be remarked that the Department has been duly represented in the Meetings of the
Centers where it offered teaching courses, especially in Jaén EPS, where apart from the person
appointed by the Department, it has been represented almost always by one or two lecturers more. At
present, representation in the Meeting of the Higher Polytechnic School of Jaén is granted to the
Department director Tomás Fernández Del Castillo, the Academic Organization Tutor Javier Cardenal
Escarcena and the lecturers Carlos Pinilla Ruiz and Jorge Delgado García. As far as the Higher Polytechnic
School of Jaén is concerned, its representation is granted to Carlos Enríquez Turiño.

1. DEPARTMENT TEACHING
The Department of Cartographic, Geodetic Engineering and Photogrammetry of University of Jaén
teaches its courses of first and second cycle directly at the Higher Polytechnic School of Jaén (EPSJ), and
also, at a minor rate, at the Higher Polytechnic School of Linares (EPSL). This teaching is directly related
to Geomatics.
Geomatics is a modern scientific term of wide international spreading that integrates a wide range of
disciplines and techniques such as Geodesy, Topography, Cartography, Photogrammetry, Spatial Remote
Sensing, Positioning and Satellite Navigation (GPS and Galileo systems, for instance), the (GIS)
Geographic Information Systems or the Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) among others. The fast progress
during the last decade of computing technology and programming, and also of the terrestrial, air and
space observation techniques, had allowed Geomatics to become a discipline requiring professionals
with a solid scientific and Technical training, with a creative nature and that manage to react in new
situations. The Department of Cartographic, Geodetic Engineering and Photogrammetry in the EPSJ
provides teaching in two Degrees of the Geomatics field:
•
•
Technical Engineering Degree in Topography.
Engineering Degree in Geodesy and Cartography.
In these degrees, the Department is responsible for the teaching of over 50% of the credits in both main
and compulsory subjects. It is compromised to offer quality education that excels at national level thanks
to the researches and activities carried and also to the high level of education achieved by the
graduated. To this end, the Department is organizing with regard to Teaching Units: Methods of
Topography and Geodesy, Applied Topography and Geodesy, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing,
Cartography and GIS.
1.
Technical Engineering Degree in Topography
These tuitions are provided in the Higher Polytechnic School of Jaén since 1989. This is a first cycle
degree lasting three academic years divided into a four-month programme arranged in 222 credits. At
the moment, the studies plan of 1995 is still in force, though revised in 2000 and partially adapted to the
new teaching techniques of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) as this Degree is integrated in a
pilot project of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation Systems (ECTS). Once the courses of
studies are finished, students are awarded the Diploma of the Technical Engineering Degree in
Topography, which authorises the holder of this qualification diploma to practice a profession of highdemand at present, especially in the civil work and construction sector.
2.
Engineering Degree in Geodesy and Cartography
This education is provided at the Higher Polytechnic School of Jaén since 1994, being University of Jaén
pioneer among other Spanish universities on providing this degree on its academic offer. This is a
second cycle degree (150 credits) lasting two academic years divided into a four-month programme. The
studies plan in force at present dates back to year 2000. It should be remarked as a special feature of
interest of this degree, that the ratio lecturer/students is very favourable, being treated as the best
valued degree offered by University of Jaén in the surveys made to the students in the academic year
2007/08. This factor, together with the multidisciplinary approach of these studies, results in a
professional profile highly appreciated by the companies and government administrations of this field,
which does facilitate work insertion event in other fields not related to civil work.
3.
The Future in the studies of Geomatics in the framework of the
EHEA and the new study plans.
Imminent changes that will be made due to the incorporation of the EHEA shall be produced in the
Spanish university panorama and will be reflected on a deep restructuring of study plans and actual
teaching methodologies. In this sense, the Department of Cartographic, Geodetic Engineering and
Photogrammetry in coordination with the EPSJ, is implicated in the teaching renovation caused by the
convergence with Europe. Furthermore, it is an active part of the workgroup coordinated by the
Conference of Directors of the Schools of the Technical Engineering in Topography (three- year degree)
and Engineering in Geodesy and Cartography that at present is defining the Studies Plan of the
Engineering Degree in Geomatics and Topography. This new Degree that will have the same professional
attributions as the present Technical Engineering Degree in Topography will be divided into four
academic years with a tuition of 240 European credits (ECTS).
This new Engineering Degree in Geomatics and Topography will be implemented in the academic year
2010/2011 and it will progressively replace the present studies of Technical Engineering Degree in
Topography that shall be extinguished (together with the rest of present studies plans of all the Degrees
in Spain) in 2015.
In a parallel way to the Degree definition, the Department of Cartographic, Geodetic Engineering and
Photogrammetry is working to determine a Master in the field of Geomatics in order to provide
academic continuance for the future graduates in Geomatic Engineering and Topographic and which, in
any case, makes easier the access to Doctorate studies.

Postgraduate courses
The Postgraduate Official Programmemes are courses of study directed towards the student
specialization in his/her academic, professional or research training and that are divided in two cycles as
a continuation of their Degrees (that will be the First Cycle in the adaptation of the Spanish system to the
EHEA):
• The Second Cycle is directed to the advanced learning, of either specialised or multidisciplinary
character and directed to academic of professional specialization, or to promote the initiation of
research tasks. The conclusion of this cycle leads to the award of the MASTER diploma.
• The main aim of the Third Cycle is the advanced learning of the student focusing on researching
techniques. It also includes the elaboration and presentation of the Doctoral Thesis. The conclusion
of this cycle leads to the award of the DOCTOR diploma.
