Surveying Engineering Technology Major**Please note that the College of Technology is no longer accepting students into the Surveying Engineering Technology degree program.**

The Surveying Engineering Program is directed toward Professional Land Surveying. Instruction in Surveying Engineering Technology emphasizes theoretical principles as well as practical applications of advanced surveying and mapping techniques, related computational procedures, geodesy, map compilation, and photogrammetry.

Surveying Engineering Technology, in its broadest sense, includes making precise measurements of the earth's surface using sophisticated optical and electronic instruments, determining the boundaries of properties, working as a field engineer for a general contractor establishing the location of new construction, establishing transportation routes, and mapping the earth's surface.

The program is committed to attaining the following goals:

  • Provide an educational experience that prepares the student for the challenges of the surveying and mapping profession.
  • Employ state-of-the-art technologies in the surveying and mapping curriculum.
  • Provide opportunities for the student to exhibit creativity, leadership and team-building abilities, cultural appreciation, and an understanding of global and social issues.
  • Incorporate interdisciplinary concepts and problem-solving exercises in the program.
  • Provide broad educational experience including communication skills, mathematics and basic sciences, and preparation for life-long learning.

Students pursuing a major in Surveying Engineering Technology must complete the following requirements in addition to the university core and general college requirements.
