The Remote Sensing education in China
The DTT can be treated as an example, from 1987 to 1989, 107 students to be enrolled, among them 74 had already got Master degree, 30% came from geology, 27% came from geography, 6% came from aerophotography, 12% came from physical concerned departments, 5% came from mathematics. Among 74 persons, now 14-20% went abroad for further study, 13-19% worked for universities, 16-21% worked for various ministries , the rest had join commercial companies.
The doctorate program was established in 1984. The University of Survey and Mapping Technology, Institute of Remote sensing of Peking University, Chinese Geology University had been authorized to run dortorate program. Qinhua University and State Laboratory of Environment and Resource Information System co-operated with other disciplines to run doctorate program. Up to now, less than 20 persons are enrolled in doctorate program.
Remote Sensing courses
According to our statistics, 14 courses had been opened for 13 disciplines. Remote Sensing image processing course was taken by many departments. Introduction to remote sensing and optical image processing method were listed second. The courses for postgraduate cover various disciplines and are more theoretical than those for university students. Many problems had been tackled in the course. For example, the master degree students of DTT have to spend one and half years mainly for paper.
The name of courses opened by DTT for master degree students are listed below:
