My name is Ralph Tinashe Mazhindu, aged 21. I’m an undergraduate at the University of Zimbabwe. I’m studying Geomatics and Surveying under the faculty of Engineering and I’m in my second year. It’s a five-year program and it’s a profession which deals with measuring and mapping the surface of the earth, airspace, waterways and establishing official boundaries in land. Surveying engineering deals also with describing and informing where a certain area of land is. One every construction site, surveyors are the first people to access the area and help property owners understand the condition of the property, record risks and potential expenditure that may be required, enabling them develop the appropriate remedial or maintenance plans. Surveyors interface with civil engineers, landscape architects and also urban planners.

My result for last semester (Level 1 part 2), was 2-1.
