The Geomatics Technology curriculum provides training for technicians in the many areas of geomatics and surveying. Surveyors are involved in land surveying, route surveying, construction surveying, photogrammetry, mapping, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other areas of property description and measurements. GIS Technicians make and interpret maps for a variety of purposes; they also digitize, collect and maintain GIS data. Analysts maintain GIS databases and manipulate spatial data to illustrate relationships that might otherwise be difficult to visualize.
Coursework 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.
The Associate in Applied Science Degree – Geomatics Technology is awarded by the college upon completion of this program. Graduates find jobs with the North Carolina Department of Transportation as well as with companies that do land surveying, commercial and residential development, land mapping, and general and specialty contracting
Prospective students should contact the program chair for an advising appointment.
