In this course, learners assess boundary locations via research of public and private records. Learners interpret principles of evidence and the interpretation of written documents used in boundary determination, apply surveying methods for measuring distance and angular values, and demonstrate surveying practices including note keeping, computation, and writing descriptions. Upon completion of the course, learners examine boundary locations based on the study of the Wisconsin Statutes and local ordinances relating to the preparation of subdivision maps and plats.

This course covers the legal concepts and doctrines related to land, land ownership, duties and responsibilities of surveyors, and Wisconsin statutes and local codes.

This is an introductory course into GIS (Geographical Information Systems), GIS terminology, data structure, and data analysis based on spatial parameters. Students learn how to manipulate, parse, combine, and even build basic geographical databases. Applications ranging from land record management to marketing to political science are addressed.
