Geomatics Technology A.A.S.
A40420
The Geomatics Technology Curriculum prepares students to use mathematical and scientific principles for the delineation, determination, planning and positioning of land tracts, boundaries, countours and features applying principles of route surveying, construction surveying, photogrammetry, mapping, global positioning systems, geographical information systems, and other kinds of property description and measurement to create related maps, charts and reports. Includes instructon in applied geodesy, computer graphics, photointerpretation, plane and geodetic surveying, mensuration, traversing, survey equipment operation and maintenance, instrument calibration, and basic cartography. Graduates should qualify for jobs as survey party chief, instrument person, surveying technician, highway surveyor, mapper, GPS technician, and CAD operator. Graduates will be prepared to pursue the requirements necessary to become a Registered Land Surveyor in North Carolina.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student should be able to:
- Demonstrate ability to properly set up Total Station Surveying Instrument to measure angles and distances
- Prepare a Survey Boundary Plat to NC GS 4730 requirements using Auto Cad software
- Work effectively and appropriately with others through collaboration and teamwork (GE V.6)
- Use written and oral discussion to discover and to articulate ideas (GE I. 1)
