Cert in Civil Engineering Technologies/Technicians

The Academic Certificate in Professional Land Surveying targets people who need some of the coursework that state licensing boards require. The core sequence covers beginning and intermediate surveying, route survey and GNSS fundamentals, boundary control, geodesy, and GPS principles. The certificate totals 21 credits. Electives include public land surveying, research and evidence in surveying, advanced surveying, and subdivision planning. Surveying and geomatics courses must be passed with a C- or better. Students planning to practice in Public Land Survey System states receive guidance on which electives best fit their intended location of practice. Completing the certificate may help individuals meet part of the educational requirements for professional licensure. Students planning to practice in states outside the Public Land Survey System receive different elective guidance. Advanced electives are considered case by case when they relate to the surveying profession.
