Surveying in the News:
Surveying students use satellites to
survey land Surveying students from
SCC are communicating with outer space. And
they are doing so with high tech equipment the
college recently purchased. "We now have
a Real Time Kinematic GPS System. With it, our
students use information from satellites 11,000
to 12,000 miles in space to determine the positions
of points on the surface of the earth,"
instructor Peter Messier said. »

technology students, John Jeleniewski and Bentley
Robison, both of Sylva, discovered during a
recent physics class. » read

 The
Surveying Technology curriculum
provides training for technicians
in the many areas of surveying.
Surveyors are involved in land surveying,
route surveying, construction surveying,
photogrammetry, mapping, global
positioning systems, geographical
information systems, and other areas
of property description and measurements.
Course work includes the communication
and computational skills required
for boundary, construction, route,
and control surveying, photogrammetry,
topography, drainage, surveying
law, and subdivision design, with
emphasis upon applications of
electronic data collection and
related software including CAD.
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
