Technicians may be employed by governmental agencies including counties, cities, and states. Graduates may also be employed in the private sector by contractors and engineering or land surveying firms in a wide range of starting positions. Students are prepared to work in the industries of land surveying and civil engineering under a professional surveyor or civil engineer. Surveying technicians assist surveyors in collecting data and making maps of the earth’s surface. Surveying technicians typically work in an office or visit sites to take measurements of the land. Civil engineering technicians help civil engineers plan and design the construction of highways, bridges, utilities, and other major infrastructure projects. They also help with commercial, residential, and land development.\r\nStudents are provided with experiences emphasizing surveying, drafting/design, and materials testing. Surveying courses give students the opportunity to learn how to operate industry utilized equipment, including the latest in GNSS (GPS) technology. Survey drawings and engineering plans are developed using enhanced computer-aided drafting programs (CAD). Arts \u0026 Sciences courses round out the course of study, providing students with the analytical, communication, and writing skills the industry demands of its professionals. The program prepares students to take the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) Certified Survey Technician (CST) Level I exam.\r\nFor students with a bachelor’s degree in a related field, Dunwoody’s Surveying certificate may provide an avenue to licensure as a Land Surveyor. The certificate offers 22 technical credits in land surveying, as currently required by the MN board of licensure (AELSLAGID)."},"ceterms:estimatedCost":[{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:price":51505.0,"ceterms:currency":"USD","ceterms:costDetails":"http://www.dunwoody.edu","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"Textbook prices are subject to change based on availability."},"ceterms:directCostType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CostType","ceterms:targetNode":"costType:Tuition","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Cost Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Tuition"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Cost for teaching and instruction."}}}],"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"http://www.dunwoody.edu","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}}}
