Either specialty is designed to provide students the opportunity to develop skills, knowledge, and abilities for entry level and intermediate positions in the land surveying and construction industry. Students successfully completing this program will have the technical background to assist registered surveyors and civil engineers in completion of project tasks. The program offers both an Associate of Applied Science degree in Land surveying Technology and Certificate option for those students already In the industry wishing to improve their skills. Students who successfully complete the program will develop a solid foundation in surveying and will be prepared to take the Certification for Land Surveying Technicians exams (Levels l, ll, lll, lv), offered through the National Society of Professional Surveyors and Michigan Society of Professional Surveyors. These certifications (Levels l, ll, lll lv) are recognized nationally for qualified survey technicians. The curriculum reflects a strong emphasis in state of the art surveying instrument operation, computer aided design drafting, and procedures for advanced construction layout control.
