Surveying and Geomatics professionals measure and map the surface of the earth, airspace, waterways and establish official boundaries in land while using the latest software, satellite, sonar, 3D scanning and drone technology. The curriculum offers options for individuals interested in a surveying and geomatics career at both the professional and technician levels. Experienced, professional licensed instructors teach fully online or in a traditional classroom setting. Individuals may transfer equivalent surveying credits from another institution to ISU to count toward a degree or certificate. To declare a major in Surveying and Geomatics Engineering Technology, a student must have completed an AAS Degree in Civil Engineering Technology at ISU or equivalent, or have permission of the program coordinator. Students will meet with an advisor prior to the third year of the program to declare the major.
