Mathematical Detective

10 students accompanied by a senior lecturer from UBD's faculty of Arts & Social Science, Dr Kazimierz Becek, made an educational visit yesterday to Survey Department, particularly the Cadastre unit. A brief introduction was delivered to the visitors by Chief Technical Assistant Hj Masmin Hj Othman, who briefed them on the unit's mission & core values.

He explained to them the scope of Cadastre unit operations, such as registration and survey information, as well as Computation process and Point Data Base operation. They also heard an indepth overview on Survey Field Data process delivered by Hj Ariffin.

Dr Kazimierz Becek said that it was good for his students to have such visits so they can learn directly from the people involved in the industry. It is an added value to the undergraduates learning experience by exposing them to some of the elements of traversing and coordinates as well as map making.

The visit will also hoped to strengthened the industry-academic link & foster a mutually beneficial alliance.
