Surveying and geospatial engineering technologists are the architects of the Earth's landscape, using specialized tools and techniques to map and measure features such as land, water and infrastructure. From figuring out where one property ends and another begins to planning big projects like roads and buildings, this exciting field is all about shaping the world around us.<br><br>At the heart of our program lies a strong emphasis on hands-on skills using the latest technology. Youll have the opportunity to use cutting-edge tools including satellite positioning systems, electronic measurement devices, data from drones and specialized software. What's more, much of learning happens outdoors. Students gain real-world skills by engaging in fieldwork and working on actual surveying and mapping projects.<br><br>As cities expand and new infrastructure projects emerge, there is an increased need for survey technologists to accurately map land boundaries, assess terrain for construction projects and provide essential data for urban planning and development. Additionally, survey technologists play a crucial role in various industries beyond construction, such as environmental management, disaster response and resource exploration.<br><br>Ideal for those with a passion for mathematics, strong computer skills, and a love of the outdoors, our program caters to individuals who thrive in dynamic environments. Through the course of this 2-year diploma program, you'll learn how to make surveying calculations and become familiar with: surveying field methods, cadastral studies, cartography, geographic information systems (GIS), global navigation satellite systems theory and applications, survey plan preparation, effective communications, AutoCAD, MicroSurvey, StarNET and ESRI GIS software
