Yesterday, October 12, 2008 (Sunday) was my first training session of Geographic Information System, another technology in my field as a geodetic engineer and as a surveyor. Here we use the Manifold System.
I felt so lucky. This was a topic I have longed for. We still have sessions for the next two Sundays, and I am very glad I am chosen in my company to undergo such. It is quite a pressure on my part, but nonetheless, I consider it as a very beautiful blessing!
Geographic Information System or GIS is a very extensive tool in many of our demands- land use, geographic data, and land-based information systems. It is a technology that is already widely-used and experienced in other countries.
On my view as a GE, it is very essential providing accurate and relevant data all in one package, from titling to taxation, from single distance query to complex geographic analysis and projection, it is indeed a breakthrough!
I was particularly touched by one article shared by the lecturer - SURVEYOR SHOULD REMAIN MEASUREMENT EXPERTS. True. No other profession could best determine metes and bounds other than our profession. While lawyers handle land disputes and contest them on courts, still, they seek for our expertise when it comes to proving what is CORRECT and TRUE on the ground. We measure. We prove. We are accurate.
Aja to surveyors!
