International Surveying Competition Builds Strong Professional, Cultural Bonds

The NGS Testing and Training Center in Woodford, VA, hosted a competition between surveying teams from the United States and China. The competition was sponsored by the National Society of Professional Surveyors in partnership with the Beijing Institute of Surveying and Mapping, the Beijing Municipal Federation of Trade Unions, and Trimble, Inc. Two nine-member teams represented their countries in a three-component, day-long field surveying exercise. The competition also included a survey theory exam that was compiled and agreed upon by the Chinese and U.S. delegation leaders. Awards were presented at the end of the competition. Participants from each team agreed that the competition built strong professional and cultural bonds.
