Land Surveyors United https://landsurveyorsunited.com/ 👋Help us excite the next generation of land surveyors, worldwide!

Land Surveyors United is a professional development network for geospatial professionals. It is a social place for professional land surveyors to crowdsource solutions from the field. With an original mission to build a place for a global alliance among land surveyors to form. in March of 2007, LSU was the first-of-its-kind global social support platform for professional land surveyors and geodesi

sts worldwide, where frictionless geocollaboration is the coin of the realm. The community members range from surveying students to retired professional land surveyors, from geodetic technicians to professors of geosciences, bringing together employees of public and private companies, equipment and software enterprises, universities, employers and contractors of land surveying activities. Land Surveyors United has grown steadily for close to 10 years, unifying what would become the global cultural institution that exists today. Justin and Skip Farrow (1953-2015) had a vision of a better future for the professional land surveyors of the world. Their experience had shown them that the best technical support that any land surveyor can have is the support of another experienced land surveyor. On Land Surveyors United, geomatics, geospatial and surveying professionals have been given the opportunity to build and grow their own global support network which can be accessed from any device. Different by design, compartmentalized into dedicated geosocial support groups themed by location, survey equipment support for unsupported instruments, theme or surveying related topic. Today with over 11,900 network contributors, 50,000+ followers and site visits in the hundreds of thousands per month, we are proud to say that Land Surveyors United has become the world's largest and most diverse cultural resource for professional surveyors anywhere on earth. Surveyors in the network enjoy continual social, cultural and professional growth, together. Outside of the network, they follow a river of knowledge LSU is a place where professional land surveying will never die.

Would you like to see more customizable learning pathways in continuing education and are there certain areas where a custom path would have enhanced your learning? What about milestones or tailored assessments help track your progress?

Do you believe that courses in continuing education are accessible and practical for surveyors at different career stages and have you found that content is often too generalized or too specialized and should clearer categorization of courses by experience level?

We sincerely hope that you aren't in a survey graveyard this Halloween.

How do you envision continuing education evolving to meet the needs of future surveyors and what aspects of current continuing education do you believe need to evolve to stay relevant? In addition, what trends in the industry do you think will shape the future curriculum?

What about the role of continuing education in developing a more sustainable approach to surveying; Are there any specific environmental issues you believe continuing education should address and could a focus on sustainability impact the public perception of the surveying profession?

We would love to hear how you think about the public perception problem many surveyors believe faces the profession - what kind of solutions do you think exist to bridge the gap of understanding?

Which emerging skills or technologies do you believe are essential for the future of surveying and how well do you think continuing education is adapting to cover these emerging skills? What value do you see in cross-disciplinary skills (e.g., environmental science, geospatial analytics) and what specific cross-disciplinary knowledge do you think would benefit the profession most? How well do current continuing education programs integrate these disciplines?

Two Apps Which Talk To One Another - Introducing "The New Surveyor" and "The Seasoned Surveyor" Apps
Two Apps Which Talk To One Another - Introducing "The New Surveyor" and "The Seasoned Surveyor" Apps

Finally got our proof of concept(s) working! We are seeking beta testers for two new apps geared toward helping land surveyors understand one another across generations. New Surveyor App - If you are New to Surveying, Go here in your mobile browser to add a shortcut to your phone: http://go.srvyr.com/newsurveyor Seasoned Surveyor App - If you are an experienced surveyor, Go here in your mobile browser to add a shortcut to your phone: http://go.srvyr.com/seasonedsurveyor Everyday a new surveyor comes into the field, a game begins. This game involves finding out who is in charge, what is expected from them and what they should already know about land surveying. Those seasoned surveyors in charge quite often discover gigantic voids in surveying knowledge, lack of understanding about how crews work and ultimately what surveying is all about. These two apps are an attempt to help get everyone on the same page. These two apps are Land Surveyors United Member Apps which have been developed as an experimental proof of concept. By donating to the community, you can help us upgrade these apps to become more robust, hold more information and brand them for the community.
