| Rationale: | |
| The prime objective of this AAS degree is to prepare graduates to become certified surveying technicians. The NSPS, CST exam program provides that certification.
2030:255 Tech. Calculus II - Move to BS degree program. ABET(our accreditation agency)does not require calculus in the AAS degree. 2820:163 & 164 Tech. Physics Elect. & Mag. and Heat & Light courses- Course no longer required by our ABET (our accreditation agency). Replacing with 3370:101 Introductory Physical Geology (4 credits). Surveyors are involved in the planning stages and are the first on the ground in land development operations. A general knowledge of environmental Science and Physical Geology on the project area would be very helpful in the land development design stage. 2940:210 Computer Aided Drawing I - AutoCAD as a stand alone drawing program had been replaced by Land Development software. Land Development software is currently taught in 2980:355. That course, Computer Applications in Surveying, is being expanded from 2 credits to 3 credits. The two additional credit hours gained with the deletion of this course will allow us to reduce the total credits required in the AAS degree program from 68 to 66. | |

This program prepares graduates to work as surveying technicians under the direction of a professional registered surveyor. It is designed to provide a foundation in mathematics, natural science, and communication skills as well as the surveying skills necessary to become a Certified Surveying Technician (CST) under the National Society of Professional Surveyors’ (NSPS) testing program. • Students must take the NSPS CST Level 1 examination (see department for details). * or any other Natural Science courses approved by General Education requirements. 2020:121 English 4 2020:222 Technical Report Writing 3 2030:152 Technical Mathematics II 2 2030:153 Technical Mathematics III 2 2030:154 Technical Mathematics IV 3 2040:247 Survey of Basic Economics 3 2820:131 Software Applications for Technology 1 2820:161 Technical Physics: Mechanics I 2 2820:162 Technical Physics: Mechanics II 2 2940:170 Surveying Drafting 3 2980:100 Introduction to Geomatics 2 2980:101 Basic Surveying I 2 2980:102 Basic Surveying II 2 2980:123 Surveying Field Practice 2 2980:222 Construction Surveying 3 2980:223 Fundamentals of Map Production 3 2980:225 Advanced Surveying 3 2980:228 Boundary Surveying 3 2980:355 Computer Applications in Surveying 3 2980:xxx Surveying Electives 5 2985:101 Intro. to Geographic & Land Info.
