The surveying curriculum prepares students for employment as licensed land
surveyors in the state of Illinois. The AAS degree in Surveying will complete
the first two years of study for a baccalaureate degree and the first 12 hours
of surveying study in an academic setting as required by the IDPR for professional
licensure. The intent would be for students to complete their study at a four-year
university, such as Purdue University- Calumet. The curriculum covers the following
surveying related topics: Elementary Surveying, Route Surveying, Land Surveying
and Subdivision, Surveying Computations, Land Survey Systems, Legal Descriptions,
Construction Surveying, Astronomic and Geodetic Surveying, Surveying Law and
Property Surveying.
