A. Introduction

The UP Department of Geodetic Engineering is the country's leading institution in

geospatial research and instruction, serving the nation through its undergraduate

and graduate degree programs, and its various training modules. Since its

establishment in 1937, the department has been continuously enhancing its

resources, through constant faculty development and facility upgrades, to the

demands of a growing nation and the challenges in the global community.

B. History of GE Department

An Ad-Hoc Committee composed of representatives from the Board of Technical

Surveys and Maps, the Land Authority, and the University of the Philippines, was

convened in August of 1963 to plan and program the establishment of a Training

Center for Applied Geodesy and Photogrammetry in the Philippines under the

administration and supervision of the University of the Philippines. A

memorandum of agreement, signed on December 18, 1963, by the Governor or

the Land Authority and the President of the University of the Philippines,

culminated in the establishment of the Training Center on October 7, 1964.

The advent of a national government program for land reform and the need for

accelerated industrial, agricultural, and commercial growth and sociological well-

being in the country, have rendered advance techniques in surveying

indispensable tools for the inventory and planning in agriculture and forestry, for

geological and sociological surveys, as well as for all kinds of mapping for

engineering for technical administration.

The conceptual plans for the training program of the Center were in a two-fold

aim. On the short-range basis, it seeks to fill the immediate needs of the various

agencies for technical personnel required in the execution of land capability

surveys and mapping for Land Reform use by means of aerial photogrammetry.

On a long-range basis, it has aimed to provide through formal classroom

laboratory and field work, training for the development and advancement of

technical personnel of the Land Authority, other government agencies and the

private sector in the fields of geodesy, photogrammetry, photo-interpretation, and

cartography, on a national level, and ultimately, on a regional level, for the Far

East and Asia.


4 | P a g e

The Training Center in effect provides a continuing geodetic engineering program

for engineers, agriculturists, foresters and geologists. Seminars and special

summer courses had been conducted for teachers, professionals, practitioners and

other government personnel who are not able to attend the regular semestral

training programs.

Another major function of the Training Center is research, covering as many

aspects of photogrammetry, applied geodesy and photo-interpretation as possible.

Through collaborative works with various government agencies, local and

international universities, and with the industry, a variety of research and creative

works have been conducted increasing and refining techniques, concepts and

methods in the practice of surveying, cartography, and photogrammetry. In

addition, members of the academic staff of the Center have been providing

technical assistance on consultation basis.

The promotion and coordination of these activities, particularly those crossing

Department and College lines, have been facilitated by the Department of

Geodetic Engineering, which is simultaneously manned by the Training Center

Staff.

N. Academic Integrity

Taken from College of Engineering’s “thou shall not CHEAT” primer

1. Who do we have in mind when we wrote this?

We have you, our students, in mind as our primary readers. But,

this will also be useful to our faculty members who can use it as

their guide to check whether an act committed by their student is

acceptable or not, and to guide them on the steps to take in

resolving a case.

It is important for us, students to realize that being unaware of the

policies of the university is not an excuse for committing acts of

dishonesty.

2. What are the acts considered intellectually dishonest?

According to the UP Draft Student Code, the following are

considered intellectually dishonest acts:

o Plagiarism

o Distortion and/or destruction of data

o Copying or providing the means of accessing means to

copy exam answers, homework, projects, laboratory

experiments, term papers, etc.

o Possession and/or use of cheat devices during an

examination

o Allowing another person to take an examination in one’s

name, and/or allowing someone to impersonate oneself in

an academic activity

o Manipulating a corrected exam paper

o Submission of the same work in two or more courses

without the instructor’s consent

3. What is considered Plagiarism?

Plagiarism may take on different forms. As cited by Eloisa Ventura

(1999) in “On Your Own: Doing Research Without Plagiarism”1,

these can be in the form of:

o Submitting a paper that you did not write yourself

o Copying a paper or paraphrasing materials from a source

text without acknowledging the source


43 | P a g e

o Copying a part of a paper with an acknowledgement, but

without quotation marks. 1

4. How then can plagiarism be prevented?

Cite all sources of your information if it is not yours. Data, figures

and photos which were prepared by other authors should have

source information included.

5. What is the correct way of referring to other people’s works?

There are many styles of referencing, but all of them include the

information regarding the author/s’ name/s, the title of the work,

date the work was published, the paper where the work was

published, publisher. One style is the one shown in the footnote.

You will learn more details on proper citation when you take it up

in an English writing class.

6. Can we copy text verbatim and cite the source?

Yes, only if the text is placed in quotes when the text is less than

four lines. For text more than four lines, it should be blocked

(indented from the left margin).

7. Can we cite sources from the internet?

Yes, but the website should be included in the reference and the

date when it was accessed. However, since we also have to be

careful of the integrity of the source websites, we discourage you

from using websites as sources of your information. There are

numerous books and journals available in the library which we

encourage you to read and use in your reports.

8. Where can we learn these techniques on referencing, and avoiding

plagiarism?

These are being taught in an English class with a course title of

English 30. This is the reason why we highly encourage you to take

this class. Not only will you learn writing techniques, you will also

1 Ventura, Eloisa. On Your Own: Doing Research Without Plagiarism. University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, 1999.


44 | P a g e

learn how to paraphrase, and how to cite sources, among many

other things.

9. What is meant by destruction/distortion of data?

Data collected in connection with an academic study should not be

altered just to fit a certain trend. For example, when we are

performing experiments, we should include all data that we were

able to collect and include them in the final report.

10. Is it considered cheating if we copy a classmate’s work, even if it is

homework?

Of course it is still cheating. Anything that we pass as our own

work when it is not, is considered intellectually dishonest. If you

need help and cannot tackle the given assignment independently,

inform your teacher of your difficulty and inquire about the type of

help that he/she will allow. Some instructors allow group

discussion and sharing of ideas of how to solve given problems, but

clarify with your instructor first if this is allowed. Always ask your

instructor first when in doubt.

To guide us in deciding whether something is intellectually

dishonest or not, we should review the intent of any academic

requirement that is asked from you. You are being asked to take

exams, submit reports and other requirements because your

teachers want you to learn something from the exercise – that by

undergoing the process of preparing for that requirement, you learn

something. If you make shortcuts, ask other people to do things for

you, copy answer, make up data… will you learn anything

from doing those?

11. What are considered fraudulent acts?

Any false statement/information made by the student in connection

with admission to, registration in, retention in, and graduation from

the University is considered fraudulent.

12. What can be typical examples of cases considered fraudulent?

Giving false information, like claiming to be sick or what not to

justify being absent or not being able to take an exam.

Forging signatures of authorities and other individuals


45 | P a g e

Using digital signatures without prior consent of the owner of the

signature.

13. What are sanctions for the said cases?

There are different sanctions for the different cases. It can range

from suspension to expulsion.

14. Will the students be given a chance to explain their side?

Yes, there is a procedure that is followed where the student’s right

to be heard is ensured. Once a complaint is filed, the investigating

committee will call the “respondent” to give him or her a chance to

be heard.

15. Who can students approach when they know someone has done a dishonest

act?

There are several approaches that can be taken. You can tell your

teacher about it. Or you may directly write to the Dean to report

what you think is a dishonest act.
