This AlmaLaurea report analyzed on Open non only confirms this who intuited during my studies, this which I have personally experienced in these years of activity working and this which the vast majority of my former university colleagues told me.
In 2004 I began my university studies in environmental and territorial engineering trying to understand what the world of work was asking for. For this approach of mine, already at the time I saw a strong discrepancy between what that the university offered and this that the world of work was asking for. In those years he matured within me the belief that the GIS sector would be the most promising despite knowing that from an educational point of view there were (and are) major deficiencies, at least at the level of standard university education.
Apart from a few exceptions, in fact, Geomatics is only discussed in second level master's degrees, yet for an environmental engineer the comparison with the territory, its representation and analysis of the same is fundamental and cannot be go through a CAD.
After 15 years, I unfortunately have to note that nothing has changed. changed and that gap between supply and demand persists. And I'm not just talking about my sector but about many others. It seems that in Italy the university world and the world of work live in two parallel universes rather than one another. coexist in the same universe.
