    Surveying 1 was a challenging subject for the author that helped them better understand the field of civil engineering. Through readings, fieldwork experiences like pace factor measurements and trigonometric leveling, and examinations, the author gained a better grasp of surveying concepts over time. They struggled initially but with effort were able to understand topics like error correction and leveling. An approved off-campus fieldwork proposal allowed real-world practice of a smartphone app's accuracy. While requirements took significant time, the author felt surveying 1 was a valuable subject and hoped to pass with their group and continue their studies.

    Reflection paper in Surveying 1

    Surveying is a part of the curriculum for civil engineering course. And for me surveying is a
    first step towards the fulfillment of my dream, to become a successful civil engineer. When our
    instructor gave the course outline, I find it not easy. I have no idea about leveling etc. and some
    technical topics that were given. First my instructor gave the true meaning of being a civil
    engineer. There are 3 but I only remember 1. Which is, the community must be satisfied from the
    work of a civil engineer. Where in people must feel that they are safe in the structures that civil
    engineers have made.

    In the preliminary grading period, it is quite hard to adjust because I have no idea about
    surveying. Until I read books about it. First lesson is about error. Erroneous tape correction and
    other tape error correction. I don’t deeply understand the topic but when I read the book I now
    understand. And then we have our first field work. I like fieldworks a lot because fieldwork for
    me is more realistic than discussion. I can applied what is been discuss and know the true feeling
    and what is really happening when conducting a specific field work. Our first fieldwork was pace
    factor. Pace factor is one great technique when you don’t have enough length of your measuring
    tape. It is when you will get your pace and do some computations and then you will get the
    distance of a line. According to our data analysis it is 96.65 % accurate. Our preliminary exam, I
    find it difficult because I don’t even know leveling. I try to ask my friend to discuss it to me but
    it’s not clear. And I got a low score.

    In the Midterm grading period, lessons have been discussed like, leveling, bearing,
    azimuth traversing. Etc. we also had our field work which is the trigonometric leveling. Where
    in we used the technique called offset, that our instructor taught us. And our instructor proposed
    an off-campus fieldwork. First I have no idea about it. Our instructor assigns some of us to work
    with the proposal paper. And we work on that paper. Me as the organizer, it was my first time to
    organize an event/activity. At first it was rejected but the objectives have been revised. Our main
    objective now is to get the accuracy of a readily available Smartphone app. Our proposal now
    has been approved and the off-campus is well conducted.

    In the final grading period, the requirements are given. Many requirements are given by our
    instructor. And it is in the final period when our final fieldwork was made. The discussion about
    omitted measurements, area of a traverse and etc. have been made. And the final exams came
    and I find it hard again. Fulfillment of requirements eats lot of time and we should submit it.

    Surveying 1 is such a great subject for me. With my associate and group we conquer the hard
    challenges we faced in this subject. Although it is not as organized as I imagine when we are
    working together as a team. We keep on working to finish the work. I wish that we will passed
    this subject and continue our journey towards our goal to be successful civil engineers.
