The study was conducted to assess the awareness and expertise of the senior students of Geodetic Engineering in Nueva Vizcaya State University Bayombong Campus on the applications of Google Earth on Computer Aided Drafting (CAD), Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing, and Photogrammetry. The data was gathered through distributing survey questionnaires, then analyzed and interpreted using Social Package Statistical Software (SPSS)
The results showed that the senior students are slightly aware in the application of Google Earth in the four subjects except for the fourth-year students who are moderately aware in the subject Remote Sensing. The result also shows that the senior students are novice in integrating Google Earth to Computer Aided Drafting, Remote Sensing, and Geographic Information System (the fourth year are intermediate). Fourth years are also intermediate in the subject, Photogrammetry. The students' level of awareness was influenced inside the classroom, by surveyors, by researching it over the internet, by reading and watching mediums that discusses the applications of Google Earth, and they heard it from their families and friends. Meanwhile their level of expertise was affected by lack of software applications, equipment, and knowledge to integrate Google Earth with the different platform.
Thus, the following recommendations were arrived; the students are encourage to widen their awareness and expertise on the application of Google Earth with the help of the instructors and school by providing seminars, software, and equipment to utilize.
Key Words: Google Earth, Computer Aided Drafting, Geographic Information System, Remote Sensing, Photogrammetry, Integration, Awareness, Expertise, Geodetic Senior Students, Nueva Vizcaya State University
