I'd be inclined to call it 'geodesy' as a discipline, while leaving 'surveying' to the practical job. Actually, before WW2, we had 'geodetists' as academic scholars in the discipline and 'sworn surveyors' ('mierniczy przysięgły') carried out the job for practical use. But 'Agricultural Surveying' certainly does the job all right and looks good.

I would name it -- Agricultural Surveing, but I cannot submit since I did not came to the idea... independently :)

Does Geodesy of Agricultural Facilites make sense to native speakers of Polish? Please let me know

George BuLah (X) Jul 3, 2013:

they call it -- Geodesy and Land Management -- in many agricultural universities Poland-wide

George BuLah (X) Jul 3, 2013:

No, no... now all is clear... Pan Łukasz is absolutely right; now I'm following the sense; urządzenia here stands for facilities, etc.

Ljerka Kovacic Tot (asker) Jul 3, 2013:

Exactly, it makes no sense. Unfortunately, I don't know what they do because this is a graduation diploma text. The diploma was issued in 1994.

Łukasz Gos-Furmankiewicz Jul 3, 2013:

It seems is 'Geodesy of Agricultural Equipment' in the source. If the source makes little sense, you can't really come up with a smart translation. Alternatively, there is a very odd, archaic usage of the noun 'urządzenia', which you could translate as 'facilities' or 'arrangements' (as the verb 'urządzić' means to 'arrange' or 'ordain' something). The use of 'rolnych' instead of 'rolniczych' lends some credit to this idea.

George BuLah (X) Jul 3, 2013:

czytam tak... geodezja urządzeń rolnych... to co ? mierzy się traktory, redlice i pługi ?
szukałem EN wersji w witrynach polskich uczelni, ale jest taka niekonsekwencja, że ho ho... może to jest nazwa specjalizacji, która już tak nie nazywa się, chociaż któryś z naszych posłów ukończył toto w roku 1996...

LilianNekipelov Jul 3, 2013:

What is this specialization about. I agree. It does not make much sense at all. What do they do?

Ljerka Kovacic Tot (asker) Jul 3, 2013:

It doesn't make sense at all - how do you perform geodetic work on agricultural equipment? Could it be geodesy of agricultural systems?
