Meanwhile, one of the participants of Survey Camp 2022, Ruzaithy Azhnie Justi also shared that this program provides many benefits and valuable experiences to Civil Engineering students.

“The direct practical application of Engineering Survey knowledge in the field is an advantage for us to be better prepared before venturing into the industry. We were also exposed to surveying software to further analyze the data taken on field digitally.

“Skills such as critical thinking and the ability to work in a group are also indirectly tested to overcome all the challenges and obstacles faced so that the tasks given can be completed within the fixed timeframe,” she added.
