Περίληψη
In this article, the author seeks to assess the design, development and three-year operation of a new course curriculum
in applied technology in a Greek Technological Educational Institute (TEI). The constant increase in demand for spatial information
and the technology for managing this information provided a challenge in forming an independent undergraduate academic
curriculum in applied sciences, similar to other departments in peer European and worldwide academic institutions. In the article, the
author analyses the structure of the curriculum and the methodology behind its design. Quantitative data from the first evaluation of
the operation of the Department at the TEI of Serres is also presented, along with data from a survey was conducted on students of
the Department. The survey explored the way that current students evaluated the academic curriculum’s structure and the benefits it
afforded them. The results of the survey revealed that a strong appraisal of the new academic curriculum seemed to be the case for
the student, academic and professional communities in Greece.
