Surveying involves activities such as mapping the earth above and below sea level; establishing property boundaries of private and public lands; providing information necessary for the construction of private and public works; establishing large-scale land information systems; determining facts about the size, shape and gravity field of the earth; and conducting high precision measurements for worldwide control networks and for industrial applications and scientific studies. The surveyor utilizes a wide variety of techniques and equipment on the job. Some of the equipment is terrestrial-based, other equipment is air- and space-borne.

The surveying engineering technology curriculum stresses the technical, theoretical and legal aspects of surveying. Technical surveying courses include theory and application of Global Position Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Law or Law-related courses are integrated into the program in order to impart to students the legal knowledge and legal responsibility of a land surveyor.
