TRAINING & EXTENSION

The training and extension programs at the department and training center are designed to capacitate government and industry professionals. These initiatives cater to the diverse needs of various sectors, enhancing skills and addressing critical challenges across professional contexts.

OVERVIEW

As part of the mandate of the UP TCAGP, more than 1,500 technical and non-technical personnel from the public sector have been trained in surveying and geomatics. This training arm of the UP DGE has been instrumental in capacitating both the public and the private sector in terms of leveling up their conceptual and practical knowledge.

LiDAR DATA REQUEST AND SERVICES

The University of the Philippines Training Center for Applied Geodesy and Photogrammetry (UP TCAGP) facilitates access to geospatial data and information derived from its extensive research portfolio. Available resources include LiDAR datasets, Digital Surface and Terrain Models, Flood Hazard Maps, Orthophotos, Classified LAS, and Bathymetry. This service supports research, planning, and decision-making for local government units (LGUs), national government agencies (NGAs), higher education institutions (HEIs), private industries, and individuals.

SURVEY CAMP

The University of the Philippines Training Center for Applied Geodesy and Photogrammetry (UP TCAGP) offers the Survey Camp as an extension service to local government units (LGUs), higher education institutions (HEIs), private industries, and other stakeholders requiring technical assistance and support in field data acquisition and mapping. This service aims to assist host partner institutions in achieving their developmental goals, including promoting public safety, enhancing planning and development efforts, mitigating the effects of climate change, and other applications, through the acquisition and analysis of spatial data. Additionally, this service provides senior GE students from the UP College of Engineering an opportunity to gain practical industry experience in field data acquisition and mapping of large areas, while also fostering public service engagement with communities.

​

As part of this collaboration, the UP TCAGP shall:

  • Deploy faculty members and senior Geodetic Engineering (GE) students to conduct the survey.

  • Provide basic training on geomatics technologies to the host partner institution at no additional cost.

​​

Meanwhile, the host partner institution shall:

  • Provide accommodation, daily remuneration, a coordinator, and other logistical support throughout the survey period.

​​

The Survey Camp will commence upon the finalization of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and Terms of Reference (TOR) between the parties involved.
