Top 10 Things to Remember About Field Notes

Top 10 Things to Remember About Field Notes

Wednesday, December 11, 2024
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
This Zoom Video Webinar will be recorded

As our profession swan-dives into the deep end of the technology pool it has been shedding many traditional tools such as plumb-bobs, steel tapes, chaining pins, and dip needles. However, a field book is a different story. Geared toward members of survey field crews, this webinar will identify the critical reasons that all field personnel should be carrying a traditional field book with them at all times. The speaker will also discuss the importance of putting in place a QA/QC process to make sure that all field information is captured in real time and preserved in its unedited form.

Most recently, Mr. Vannozzi joined the faculty of the Surveying Engineering Technology program at The University of Maine in the Fall of 2019 where he teaches courses across the curriculum both in the traditional classroom and on-line.
