Certificate in Engineering Technology - Surveying Fund

The Surveying Fundamentals Certificate is a three-semester 20-credit hour program that offers a route to surveying licensure not only for students who are beginning their careers, but also for those who are looking to transfer to four-year programs and those who are already in the workforce and are looking to advance their careers.

The program’s unique curriculum will prepare students through surveying theory and practice, care and use of instruments, procedures and instrumentations, and computations and leveling. Students will also learn about field astronomy, highway curves, and topographic surveying. Surveying has evolved from what it once was, and now encompasses new technology such as drones, laser scanned projects, and satellites.

According to industry partners, there is a great demand for licensed surveyors and MTC is providing a clear pathway to meet the educational requirements. Certificate curricula are reviewed and updated periodically in response to community and industry demands. The student is cautioned to discuss certificate choices and course selections with an Engineering Technology Advisor before each registration cycle.
