- Land Surveying and Mapping
- Program Description
- Land Surveying is the science of determining the position of points on the surface of the Earth through the application of mathematics and the use of specialized instruments. The term “ Earth surface” refers to everything on Earth that can be explored: the bottom of the seas, bays, lakes and rivers; the interior of caves and mines; mountains and deserts; and even the frozen and desolated polar regions. Surveying includes the measurement of angles and distances, the establishment of horizontal and vertical control points, plan confection, cadastral measurements, highway tracing and building locations, submarine topography and oceanic depths, plus the location of legal boundaries.
- Land Surveying and Mapping
- Degree Offered
- The Geomatic Science Department offers undergraduate courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Land Surveying and Mapping (B.S.L.S.).
