Surveying and Mapping is the study of geospatial measurement and representationincluding such disciplines as land surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing (satelliteimaging and laser scanning), geographic information systems (GIS), cartography, globalpositioning systems (GPS), and some parts of geography and civil engineering.
Surveying and Mapping is a discipline which integrates acquisition, modeling, analysis, andmanagement of geo-spatial reference data.
Based on the scientific framework of geodesy, ituses terrestrial, marine, airborne, satellite-based sensors, and measurement systems andtechnologies to acquire spatial and other data.
The Land Surveying component of Surveyingand Mapping includes investigation, analysis, and application of boundary/property laws andlegal principles pertaining to specific public and private properties and is a regulatedprofession wherein a license to practice land surveying is issued by each state in an effort toprotect the public and private interests in property boundaries.
Students in the Surveying and Mapping program may earn an Associate in Science inSurveying and Mapping which will help them be immediately employable as an entry levelsurveyor GIS technician.
Students may also earn a Bachelor of Science in Surveying andMapping which will prepare them to successfully pass the national Fundamentals ofSurveying (FS) exam which is a significant step towards surveying licensure.
The bachelordegree program has been developed around four core disciplines which build on an in-depthfoundation of knowledge needed for the professional practice of surveying and GIS.
Surveying and Mapping program goals are to secure ABET/ASAC accreditation by FallSemester 2017 and to continue to encourage student interest in obtaining graduate degreesin the field of Surveying and Mapping from other nationally ranked institutions.
The programis operating under an annual cohort system starting in the fall semester of each year, somatriculation is required to ensure that each perspective student completes all requiredcourse prerequisites prior to entrance into a cohort.

Total Program Credits: 121

Matriculation Requirements:
1. Before being formally admitted into the BS Surveying and Mapping, students must matriculate into the Surveying and Mapping Cohort (the final 2 years of the program) by either completing an AS in Surveying and Mapping with a minimum grade of C or better, (except for MATH 1060 and/or its equivalents which must be a B or better) OR by completing AS in Engineering Design Technology- Civil Drafting and Design Track OR by completing matriculation requirements 2 and 3:                   2. Complete My Educator with an exam score of 80% or higher OR complete IM 2010 Business Computer Proficiency (3.0 credit hours) with B- or higher. 3. Complete the following courses with a B grade or better:   SURV 1020  Introduction to Surveying and Mapping WE (1)              EGDT 1040  Fundamentals of Technical Engineering Drawing (3)            EGDT 1400  Surveying Applications and Field Techniques I (3)      MATH 1060  Trigonometry (3) or EGDT 1600 Technical Math--Algebra (3) and EGDT 1610 Technical Math--Geometry/Trig (3) MKTG 220G Written Business Communication GI WE (3) 4. All Surveying and Mapping students must complete a Matriculation Application by the appointed deadline during the Spring semester prior to the Fall bachelor degree cohort to which the student desires to gain entry. Subsequently official approval must be obtained from the Program Coordinator prior to taking any further Surveying and Mapping courses. Part-time students may be admitted into the Surveying and Mapping cohort and may be allowed to proceed through the program at their own pace. All Surveying and Mapping, Bachelor of Science degree program students must have access to their own laptop computer which can be made availableduring classes and which meets the minimum hardware specifications as defined by current AutoCAD® hardware specifications prior to starting classesin the semester for which they are matriculating.
