Introduction
The surveying and geomatics professions work with private and public projects. Projects may include property surveys, road construction, topographical maps, or building layout. The surveying curriculum offers a hands-on approach to learning the principles of surveying.
The Surveying and Geomatics transfer program provides a balanced pre-surveying and geomatics curriculum to prepare students for transfer to a bachelor’s degree program at Oregon Tech (OIT).
This degree prepares students for transfer to the bachelor’s degree program at Oregon Tech. Oregon Tech (OIT) is currently the only university in Oregon that offers either a Bachelor of Science in Geomatics, Surveying Option or a Bachelor of Science in Geomatics, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Option. OIT also offers a minor in Geomatics for Civil Engineering majors. Students interested in a 2-year AAS degree focused on Surveying & Geomatics may want to consider an AAS in Civil Engineering and Surveying Technology.
Students who complete the Surveying & Geomatics Associate of Science (AS) will have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to:
Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
Demonstrate ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
Take part in participating in teams whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
Develop and utilize appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and make use of engineering judgment to draw conclusions;
Discover and make use of new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies 6. Demonstrate an introductory understanding of land surveying and geographic information systems.
The surveying and geomatics professions work with private and public projects. Projects may include property surveys, road construction, topographical maps, or building layout. Geographic information systems (GIS) are a systematic approach to managing, analyzing, and displaying geographic information. Many public agencies now use GIS for most of their mapping. Surveying, Geomatics, and GIS often overlap. There is a strong job market for these skills, and virtually 100% of graduates from OIT with a degree in Geomatics are employed at graduation.
