Overview
Surveyors use geometry, algebra, and trigonometry, as well as a variety of technologies, to take exact measurements of the land and its features. Surveying programs prepare students to become licensed surveyors and survey technicians. You’ll learn geodesy, which is the measurement of the size and shape of the earth and of points on its surface. Other topics include computer graphics, mapmaking, and instrument care and use.
