Nowadays, the need for qualified personnel who can do the job as required increases due to the rapid technological developments in the
fields of work. One of the most fundamental problems of geomatics is the lack of qualified staff. In order to meet this need, there are different
levels of programs that provide geomatics training. However, it is observed that some of the students who must graduate with knowledge
and skills are started into their professional life being indifferent to professional technological developments and without having any future
perspectives. In this study, the reasons why students prefer studying Geomatics Technician which is becoming more and more important
among other professional disciplines in our country and their satisfaction and students’ satisfaction with their department, their interest
levels in the professional technological developments and their perspectives on future plans have been investigated by conducting a survey.
The answers of the students who were educated at Geomatics Technician level to the questionnaire were analyzed comparatively, and they
were visualized with tables and “excel” graphs. As a result, it was observed that most of the students did not follow professional technical
developments sufficiently, and their future plans were not consistent. In addition, the suggestions that can contribute to the training of
qualified technical staff were presented to teaching staff working in this area.
