Decision-making and Ethics in Everyday Practice for Land Surveyors This course examines a series of situations that surveyors may commonly face. The course discusses correct actions in the context of what the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) calls its “Surveyor's Creed and Canons. Examining the ethics of an individual’s actions, given a theoretical or “teaching” situation, is a standard method of appraising and judging professional practices. Many State Boards of Registration have promulgated either a “Code of Ethics” or a “Creed and Canons.” These have one intention: to set the bar for professional ethics. These guides are based on moral assumptions considered essential to our culture. They are the standards by which professionals are expected to make decisions, behave and act. These ethical standards always assume that public protection and safety is foremost in every surveyor’s decisions. As the NSPS Creed and Canons states, “I dedicate my professional knowledge and skills to the advancement and betterment of human welfare.” The Creed goes on to affirm that a surveyor will, “… place service before profit, honor and standing of the profession before personal advantage, and the public welfare above all other considerations.” The
course takes seven situations where land surveyors commonly err
in ethical decision-making. It frames each situation around a corresponding
NSPS creed or canon. Students are then tested for their understanding
of these basic situations. CEUs for this course are not available under the "Buy Direct" options below. CEUs are only available by purchasing the course from either RedVector or PDH.
