PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE IN TECHNICAL HIGHER EDUCATION

The authors present a relatively easy way to extend the quality of education in professional studies (engineering) on major “Geodesy and Cartography”. They indicate the possibility to deepen students’ knowledge by using in the educational process proprietary software
enriching education. The authors use their own experiences, results of the cooperation with employers, as well as the effects of scientific research to introduce into the learning cycle IT solutions using in typical student assignment with reference to modern technology (including mobile solutions, computer vision, image processing).
