STUDENT HANDBOOK
DIPLOMA IN LAND SURVEYING
DECEMBER 2013 EDITION
Message from
Head of Civil Engineering Department
First of all I would like to congratulate all students because you have selected to study at Polytechnic
Kuching Sarawak (PKS).
In the last 20 years, there are only five polytechnics offering Land Survey Programme. Polytechnic
Ungku Omar (PUO), Polytechnic Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah (POLISAS), Polytechnic Kuching Sarawak
(PKS), Polytechnic Merlimau Melaka (PMM) and Polytechnic Tuanku Sultanah Bahiyah (PTSB) are
among the polytechnics in Malaysia that offer Land Survey Programme. Initially, only certificate level
was offered but since July 2010, all five polytechnics offer diploma level programmes with a new
curriculum.
This handbook contains the information regarding programme overview, programme structure,
lecturer’s details, student facilities and other relevant information about the programme. Hopefully this
handbook will help students to clearly know more about the Diploma in Land Survey Programme
(DUT) at PKS.
Lastly, I would like to wish all of you success in your pursuit of knowledge at Polytechnic Kuching
Sarawak.

Introduction
1.1
Background
Land Surveying also known as geomatic engineering has become one of the tremendous
government tools and instrument in stimulating physical, economic and social development
growth at the national and international level. The existing and current national development
policies are important agendas in administration, management and implementation that need
the qualified knowledge of land surveying. The qualified semi - professional land surveyor
with added value knowledge is necessary to cater the current employment market demand.
Land surveying is also an important catalyst in physical development, economic growth and
improving standard of living.
The new state-of-the-art technology and up-to-date knowledge are competencies and skills
needed for the semi professional land surveyor to generate future development scenario in
land development project, marine development, agro-technology, geospatial industry,
geological and geophysical activities. The emphasis of Polytechnic Diploma programme
through theoretical subjects and practical method such as lectures, tutorials, assignments,
field work, laboratory work, survey camp and industrial training at land surveying firms,
engineering consultant firms, local authorities and various government departments are
provided to penetrate employment market with supporting skills such as technical and soft
skills. This will give students some added value which is relevant to the requirement of Land
Surveyors Board Sarawak (LJT), Royal Institution Surveyors of Malaysia (RISM) and
Department of Survey and Mapping, Malaysia (JUPEM). The accreditation from the Royal
Institution of Surveyor Malaysia (RISM), Land Surveyors Board Sarawak (LSBS), related
universities, government departments and Licensed Land Surveyors Consultant firm is an
important requirement to complete the curriculum development process.
