Would this be the right category for questions about land surveying? Are there any other land surveyors here?

(For those who may be interested, land surveying, which is sometimes referred to as Geodesy or Geomatics, is generally considered to be closely related to Civil Engineering)

Would this be the right category for questions about land surveying? Are there any other land surveyors here?
As a Mechanical Engineering student in the 60's I had to take several Civil Engineering courses including land surveying. You may be able to have your land surveying questions answered in this engineering forum. Good luck. Incidentaly, engineering was originally divided into Civil Engineering and Military Engineering for obvious reasons of application. As science advanced, specialties were added such as mechanical, electrical, chemical and aeronautic engineering. There are still Civil Engineers who specialize in large structures and earth moving and Military Engineer such as West Point graduates. Surveying is still a part of Civil Engineering.
Reply:I am a licensed surveyor in Florida. I will answer any questions that I can. Report Abuse

Reply:Kes, already gave you the answer, I just want to add that in our country there is a geodetic engineering course. separate from civil engineering.
