The Surveying Engineering Technology degree provides students with introductory skills that
lead to a career in Surveying Engineering Technology. The focus of the program is on the
examination and documenting of an area’s boundaries and features for the purposes of constructing
contour maps, the application of geographic information systems (GIS), the creation of technical
communication and documentation, and the applications of unmanned aircraft systems for land
surveying. Students will complete substantial projects to aid in their career prospects. This
advanced level certificate may aid in the student's search for an entry level position as a surveying
technician, computer aided design (CAD) technician, engineering technician, field technician or
transfer into a discipline-related program
12 completers. This program will support enrollment increases. Related engineering course offeringshave grown by 250% in the previous 5 years. The development of a revised program will meet the needs of a growing market. Students will be able to move between this program and other related offerings.
1. Perform computations and designs for differential leveling, traversing, area calculations,
property/boundary surveys, topographic surveys/mapping, volume/earthwork, horizontal and
vertical curves, and error analysis.
2. Create field notes using mathematical techniques to generate documentation of various
landforms.
3. Understand the use and limitations of unmanned aircraft systems for photogrammetry.
4. Work effectively in groups during field surveying and engineering design projects which
involve problem solving, report writing, and oral presentations.
Students are required to complete 31 units, including Introduction to Engineering, Surveying, Computer-Aided Drafting for Surveyors and Civil Engineers, Engineering Critical Thiking, Introduction to Engineering Graphics, Engineering Graphics, Unmanned Aircraft Systems Basic, and Introduction to Geographic Systems.
