The Construction Design and Management: Surveying Technology Program prepares students for employment as surveying technicians. Emphasis is placed on knowledge and hands-on skills needed for computer-aided drafting, construction layout, engineering surveys, and land surveying. With substitutions of mathematics courses, this program may be transferred to universities offering a B.S. degree that will prepare the student to take the Land Surveyor-In-Training examination.

Program Notes*
• Students may substitute a technical elective for CIT 233 with approval of program director or department chair.
• MGT 113 (Human Relations in the Workplace) is recommended as a Business elective.
