The Remote Sensing education in China
The Universities which had opened Remote Sensing courses
At present, more than one hundred universities had opened courses about remote sensing technology. Among them the Wuhan University of Survey and Mapping Technology had established a department named aerophotography and remote sensing. A section of remote sensing geology had been set in Department of geology of Zhejiang University. The rest universities ah opened 1-3 course concerned remote sensing. There are various kinds of universities in remote sensing, such as universities directly under the leadership of State Education Commision, universities administrated by Ministry of Mineral Resource, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Forestry, Ministry of Railway, Ministry of Hydrology , Bureau of Survey and Mapping, Bureau of Meteorology, and some military universities . There are many disciplines to connect with remote sensing technology, geography , geology, agriculture, forest, aerophotography and mapping, oceanography and hydrology, mathematics, computer science, physics and electronics, Among them, department of geography opened the most amount courses concerning remote sensing , 39% of their total courses Department of geology stands second 15%, Department of aerophotography occupies 12%, Department of agriculture has 10%, Department of computer science has 5% courses connected with remote sensing.
Peking University had opened a course "an introduction to remote sensing" for selections of whole university students. According to statistics, the number of students to take remote sensing courses are as follows:
|
Geography | 60 |
| Geology | 100 |
| Computer science | 70 |
| Geophysics | 20. |
The total number is about 450 per year. Based on this figure, we estimate 5,000 students to attend remote sensing lectures in our country every year.
The program for postgraduates
This program contains master degree and Docterate. The former has large number, the later just has a few. These program are carried out mainly in universities and Chinese Academy Of Science.
The Program of master degree for remote sensing was established in 1987. At that time , the DTT enrolled ten students, then the Institute of Remote Sensing Application of Chinese Academy of Science started enrolment. Now the Units authorized by state to have right to run master degree program are as follows:
