Surveying engineering has a significant role in construction and highway projects,mapping and boundary determination, building information management, land informationmanagement, monitoring engineering structures, and more. Surveying makes use of manyrevolutionary technologies including Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), laserscanning, photogrammetry, and mapping using small unmanned aerial systems (sUASs).However, the surveying profession suffers from low public profile, making it difficult to attractstudents in surveying / geomatics programs, with many surveying programs experiencing lowenrollment. This issue has led to significant problems in the profession such as increasing theaverage age of surveyors, with unofficial

many more. While many maythink of safety as personal safety, it is broader. The NSPE Code of Ethics lists safety within the followingsections [4]: Cannon 1, Rules of Practice 2a and 3a-c, and lastly, Professional Obligations 2a-e. From abuilding design perspective, many codes and standards further define “safe” solution methods and proceduresthat protect occupant health and safety [5]. For teaching safety, in many engineering programs, there has been varying levels of delivery [6,7]. Insome programs there are formal 3 credit courses on safety, for others there are lab safety tutorials that can behands-on or professional ethics talks / case studies [8]. Less impactful methods could be written safetystatements or when students go on a

LensAbstract:Physics generally falls under engineering programs yet is required for a multitude of differentmajors spanning many departments and disciplines including medicine. When people think aboutthe medical field, their mind immediately goes to classes such as biology, chemistry, anatomyand physiology. However, when looking at the prerequisite courses for medical school or testedMCAT content, there seems to be one subject that doesn’t fit in with the rest: physics. For years,pre-health students have joked that physics is much less applicable to their future careers than theother courses. The goal of this research paper is to tackle the general student assumption thatunderstanding physics will not help them in their respective fields by providing real
