Abstract
The basic philosophy of the proposed study relies on the Development of Geomatics educational studies in Egypt to recognize the society needs.
This will be initiated by enhancing the recent curriculums in order to reach the international standards, in addition to setting up the first postgraduate degree in Geomatics direction within the Engineering Sector in Egypt. The essential technical support to the surrounded society can be fulfilled within extra special training modules. An added value to the Egyptian educational environment is offered by contributing high quality courses to demonstrate the usefulness of e-Learning as a mean of education in Egypt, particularly for professionals and for people in remote areas. This can be reached by providing a base for post-graduate scientific degree in Geomatics applying an e-Learning/on campus education model. Such an achievement is presented by exchanging experiences with some of the European universities that have wide knowledge on that direction.
Through this article, the existing Geomatics educational situation in Egypt is analyzed, the current objectives and activities are clarified and the major advantages of the proposed directions are highlighted.
In view of the recent efforts, it is expect to get continuous upgrading to the Geomatics education plan. In addition, qualified engineers and experts in the field of Geomatics will be applicable for the market after their studies to the refined courses.
