Abstract
The external academic quality appraisal of Romanian higher education institutions in the fundamental subject area of Engineering Sciences and its respective study programmes is based on (reference) standards and performance indicators set by a number of documents. These are the methodology, the reference standards and the performance indicators list approved by the Government Decision no. 1418 of 11.10.2006, with which operates the Romanian Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ARACIS). There are also the specific standards applying to all fundamental subject areas, approved by ARACIS, in accordance with the Law no. 87/10 April 2006, Article 17. Regarding of this Government Decision, the curricula must specify the volume in hours for teaching activities with students and the number of hours required for the student’s individual training as well as the number of credits for each discipline, both for coursework and project work or other applied activities. In order to analyse the quality of Romanian higher education for the "Geodetic Engineering’’ domain, in the field of Land surveying and Cadastre and the universities’ role in training new experts in the field, we want to present the curriculum of a young university – December 1st 1918 University of Alba Iulia, in relation to a university with a long tradition of Romanian geodetic education – the Technical University of Civil Engineering, Bucharest. Also, as computer technologies evolve rapidly, the training of future university graduates has to be tuned to the latest developments, so as to offer them better qualifications for the labour market. By this way, all the university including December 1st 1918 University of Alba Iulia and „The Technical University of Civil Engineering’’ of Bucharest through its Bachelor’s degree programme "Territory measurements and cadastre’’, has included in the curricula a series of specialty disciplines that will help future geodetic engineers acquire competences in computerising geodetic surveys. The future graduates will also be able to adjust to the constant dynamics of this line of work. The description of the curricula shows that surveying students, during the four years of study, acquire enough knowledge and practical skills to work with computers and specialized surveying software. These skills may increase the quality and productivity of the surveyor’s work. They also become a huge advantage when using other computer software and other types of equipment in other surveying-related areas. All these accomplishments are the result of the connection between theory and practice, of a syllabus that is competitive with the dynamics of development in the field of land measurement and cadastre and also of the ease in assimilating all new information in the field. Trough the study of a wide range of topographic equipment and of computer software that are presently used in Romania and abroad, our young engineers are prepared to apply for jobs in Romania or in any member state of the European Union. They are familiar with or they can adjust very easily to the specific topographical and computer technology that they may be required to use. As regards the access to further studies, the holders of a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering will have access to Master studies and then to doctoral studies not only in Romania but also in the European Union or elsewhere.

Abstract
The integration of Romania into an international context implies the harmonization of new requirements regarding cadastral activities and their organisation. New legislation has been issued regarding cadastral activity, of which we can mention the following: The Agricultural Real Estate Law on the retrocession of lands to the former owners or to their inheritors, the Cadastre and Land Registration Law tackling the provisions for all landed property to be registered in the Land Book ad the Forest Fund Law with the later additions on the system of retrocession of forests to their previous owners. These laws are now in harmony with the European legislation through a generalised cadastral record keeping system for lands registered in the Land Book. The Romanian system is based on the Austrian system, which is at the basis of most cadastral systems in Europe. We should remind you that Romania has until recently had two separate cadastral record keeping of real estates. One was based on the Austrian system and it was used in northern, western and central Romania. The other was based on the French system of Records Registries valid for the south and east of Romania. This situation lead to a series of discrepancies that caused problems in meeting deadlines, in the citizens – administration relationship and that was in the end, a waste of human and material efforts. There are also many cases in which different institutions store and use similar data on an administrative territory but they have their own means of data gathering and storing, which leads to different entries for the same record. In this context of transition in the field of cadastre and land registration, the training of future specialists in cadastral record keeping organisation activities, such as The Owners alphabetic index, the Registry of Parcels, the Registry of Property Items and etc allows the young degree holders of this field to work in an international context. They are also introduced into cadastral and land registration service providing and they are encouraged to acquire competences to manage a new cadastral database and a computerised system that records land books. The software designed by the Romanian National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration is also part of their curricula. Such software is the Property Item that generates a database for each owner. This database will then be part of the general cadastre of Romania, materialized in E-Terra, which has been designed to manage the cadastre and land registration activities in all Romanian regions. The computerized record keeping system implies geodetic aids that can be included in the management of Land Books. Thus, CAD and similar software and Romanian cadastral software such as Mapsys are included in the students curricula. The practical training of students includes practical activities carried out in Romanian companies active in the field of land measurements and cadastre, in local public administrations and in the branches of the Romanian National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration. The national Ministry of Education has issued a decision by which institutions and companies are required to receive students for practical activities so as to create the link between theory and practice. The Romanian companies are encouraged to give private study scholarships for the best students. Another opportunity for students in higher education are student mobility programmes, which offer them the chance to study or to have practical, training in Universities or private companies or partnerships abroad. Thus, a future professional of a field that has specific characteristics in each country encourages experience sharing and contacts between the experts.
