(THEA/TASP Waived)
Surveyors determine the exact location and measurement of points, lines, and contours of the earth’s surface and prepare maps or reports showing specifications. They use instruments and the principles of geometry to find these exact measurements. Duties include, but are not limited to:
- legal research including boundary law, notes, maps, deeds, and other records
- checking the accuracy of the information gathered
- creating maps using computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) systems
- preparing sketches, maps, and reports
- coordinating results with engineers and architects
Career options: Employment of surveying and mapping technicians is expected to increase 9 to 17% or more through the year 2014. There is growing demand for people to do GPS, GIS, and remote sensing work will continue to increase both the accuracy and productivity of these workers. | DEGREE PLAN | FALL SEMESTER - SRVY 1301 Introduction to Surveying
