The Land Survey Course at Haris Institute is a professional training program designed to develop practical
skills and technical knowledge in surveying, mapping, and measurement. Land surveying is an essential
field in construction, civil engineering, real estate, and infrastructure development, where accurate
measurements and mapping are the foundation of every project. This course provides in-depth training on the principles of surveying, use of modern surveying instruments,
data recording, and mapping techniques. Students will learn how to operate essential tools such as Total
Station, Theodolite, Auto Level, and GPS. They will also gain knowledge of how to interpret survey data,
prepare field reports, and use computer software to produce professional survey maps and layouts.
Upon successful completion, participants will be fully equipped to work independently or as part of a
professional engineering or construction team, performing surveys for roads, buildings, bridges, and land
development projects.

Learning Process
The Land Survey Course at Haris Institute** combines classroom instruction with real-world fieldwork**.
The goal is to ensure every student gains both theoretical understanding and practical experience.
• Instructor-led sessions covering surveying principles and calculations.
• Hands-on field training using professional surveying instruments (Total Station, Theodolite, Auto
Level, GPS).
• Practical assignments to record, calculate, and interpret survey data.
• Software sessions for drafting and analyzing survey results using AutoCAD and GIS tools.
• Team-based field projects simulating real construction site conditions.
• Personal mentorship and progress tracking by experienced instructors.
• Final project presentation based on an actual land survey and mapping exercise.
This approach ensures that students leave with the skills required for immediate employment in the land
surveying and construction industries.
