Each course in the Land Surveying Programme gives one half credit. 
The courses are given in units of two hours of lectures and one and 
half hours of laboratory/tutorials per week, over the three terms. 
This implies that the total student’s work load is 16 hours of 
lectures and 1£ hours of laboratories/tutorials per week. In 1989/90 
the new curriculum was implemented, to the Land Surveying Programme. 
The list of courses are given in table 2.

2.3 Equipment 
The equipment installed in department of Surveying is satisfactory 
and relatively modern to meet the present requirements for all courses 
of the Land Surveying Programme, courses given by Department for 
students of other programmes (Civil Engineering, Mining, Geology, 
Geography, Agriculture Engineering), and for refresher courses, 
workshops and consultancy. THe main items of equipment available in 
Department of Surveying is shown in table 3. 
2.3.1 Interactive Mapping System 
To comply with the future demands of the governmental and private 
institutions in Zambia, regarding the training of Surveyors for the 
new technologies, the Interactive Mapping System has started to be set 
up in Department of Surveying. As it can be seen from the table 3, 
some components are already available in department. Presently, the 
computer network is installed, to combine all components into one 
integrated system. The designed system is shown in figure 1. The 
available in department components are shown with the coninuous lines. 
The remaining parts of system, showed with the dashed lines, and the 
software packages for GIS and remote sensing are expected in 1991.
