Surveying and Geomatics Engineering Technology

Program Educational Objectives:

Graduates of the Surveying and Geomatics Engineering Technology program will:

1. Have the basic math and science knowledge and technical skills of the Surveying and Geomatics Engineering Technology discipline appropriate to enter careers in the geospatial community, for example, boundary surveying and legal principles, route and construction surveying, survey measurement analysis and adjustments, Global Positioning System (GPS), photogrammetry, geodesy, land/Geographic Information Systems (GIS), cartography, remote sensing, 3D scanning and mapping..
2. Have the ability to execute surveying/geomatics project activities for delivery in response to the needs of private and public industry.
3. Have appropriate understanding of standards and specifications of surveying/geomatics practices in analyzing positional accuracy of measurement systems and in preparing land records and plats by meeting legal requirements.
4. Have the knowledge to pass the national Fundamentals of Surveying examination, and maintain a commitment to lifelong learning.
5. Have an understanding of the professional, ethical, and social issues with commitment to quality and dependability.

Student Outcomes:

The graduates will have at the time of graduation:  

1. an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
2. an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
3. an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
4. an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
5. an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
