Remote Sensing 2005

Aims and Objectives:  
Each of these meetings spanned over three days and NCRC members had 
intensive debate on multidimensional aspects of the required curriculum. 
The main challenges and the task confronting to this group were: 
1. To develop international standard Remote Sensing and GIS 
curriculum for undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs that 
could uniformly be adopted by the public and private sector 
institutions.  
2.  To impart cutting edge knowledge and practical based skills among 
our graduates through rigorous theory, practical work and field 
exercises centered around key and applied aspects of these space 
age technologies.  
3.  To craft short, medium and long term training programs for Pakistani 
academics and resource managers who lack training in Remote 
Sensing and GIS. 
4. 
To craft a mechanism to procure the required technological 
components for the smooth implementation of teaching and research 
programs at higher education institutes of Pakistan..
 
 
As a starting point, Bachelor of Science (RS&GIS) four years degree 
program was taken up for the discussion on its nomenclature, duration, 
eligibility criteria, and course streams to be offered. Dr. Waqar Ahmad who 
is currently the head of Remote Sensing and GIS program at Charles 
Darwin University, Australia made a presentation about the key issues that 
are critical in the development of undergraduate and postgraduate programs 
in RS & GIS. After prolonged discussions, in the first meeting of NCRC, the 
abstract draft on degree nomenclature, duration, eligibility criteria, program 
structure and core courses for BS (RS&GIS) degree program was finalized.  
At the onset of this preliminary meeting, it was agreed to prepare an overall 
skeleton of the core and elective courses that could easily be adopted by 
various public and private sector institutions. It was unanimously agreed that 
the RS & GIS BSc degree would have major streams: Remote Sensing, 
Geographical Information Systems, Geography, Information Technology, 
Surveying and Field studies. Mathematics and Applied Sciences, English, 
Social Sciences and General Education as Knowledge Areas
