Mississippi Standards of Practice for Professional Land Surveyors
This online engineering PDH course examines the administrative and technical frameworks established to regulate the practice of professional land surveying within Mississippi.
This course examines the statutory mandates of the Mississippi Code of 1972 and the administrative Rules of the Board, clearly separating the Board's regulatory disciplinary jurisdiction from civil property line and contract disputes. It explores the technical criteria governing diverse survey classifications, while detailing the minimum precision tolerances and monumentation standards required for operations.
Furthermore, this course reviews documented disciplinary cases from official Board records to illustrate the professional and legal consequences of technical errors and regulatory non-compliance.
This 1 PDH online course is applicable to professional land surveyors licensed in Mississippi who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering standards as a condition for their license renewal.
This PE continuing education engineering course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Interpreting the statutory provisions of the Mississippi Code of 1972 and Board Rules to ensure land surveying practice safeguards public life, health, and property
- Navigating the legal limitations of the Board’s authority, distinguishing administrative disciplinary enforcement from civil matters such as boundary disputes and financial restitution
- Managing compliance with official certification rules, including the mandatory sealing, signing, and dating of final plats, maps, and reports
- Evaluating historical Mississippi Board disciplinary cases to identify common practice infractions, such as improper monumentation and standard violations, to mitigate professional liability
