Blending the Old With the New: The Surveying Program at Michigan Technological University, by Indrajith Wijayaratne (pdf, 337KB)

ABSTRACT
The Surveying Program at Michigan Technological University was instituted in 1978 in response to the state legislature's mandate that licensed surveyors posses a college degree. From the outset, the surveying curriculum was designed to provide an education to those who wish to become licensed surveyors. The curriculum was approved by the Michigan State Board of Licensing as fulfilling the requirements of professional surveyors. The program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology under the Related Accreditation Commission. It has all the ingredients of a modern surveying curriculum, and the practical nature of its course offerings is well suited for the practicing surveyor.
