New Jersey Society of Professional Land Surveyors (NJSPLS)View Photo of Award Presentation NJSPLS applied for and received a $180,000 grant to train 300 of its members in Real World Implementation of GIS. Business Problem The traditional role of the surveyor is changing. To compete and survive in the current high-tech information age, a professional land surveyor has to fully understand modern surveying tools. He or she has to understand what GIS is. Surveyors have to learn how it works, what are its components and what are the factors that make a successful project with this technology. Additionally, the professional land surveyor needs to develop a skilled labor force that can assist in implementation of this new technology. Technology Implemented This requires computer literacy, some basic knowledge about information systems and databases, an understanding in spatial relationships and an insight into the economic aspects of spatial data.
