To develop Topographic and Photogrammetric Engineers with solid comprehensive training to plan, design, formulate and manage projects, apply topographic and geodetic methods to acquire, process, interpret and integrate quality data, allowing them to model topographic surveys and structures, using state-of-the-art topographic equipment and computational tools, applying methodologies, norms and national and international quality standards to evaluate projects of economic interest, natural risk areas.

They will be able to work in the public, private, and research sectors, as well as integrate and manage work teams in different national and international contexts with an attitude of leadership, ethics, and social responsibility. They will be permanently updated to respond to the needs of society and the sustainable development of the nation.
