Dunwoody Surveying & Civil Engineering Technology

Dunwoody’s Surveying & Civil Engineering Technology program prepares you for your career as a Civil Engineering Technician or Land Surveying Technician.

Hands-on, outdoor projects and experiments get you out of the classroom and into the environment you’ll be working in. And opportunities to participate in national competitions promise to build your resume and expand your networks.

Throughout the program, our expert faculty members will train you on industry-utilized equipment and software.

Upon graduation, you will have the capacity to assist surveyors in data collection, map the earth’s surface, create surveying drawings and engineering plans, and help civil engineers design and construct the infrastructure of tomorrow.

Students interested in becoming a surveying technician will be prepared to take the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) Certified Survey Technician (CST) Level 1 exam and the Autodesk Certified User (ACU) exam.

This degree directly transfers into Dunwoody’s Bachelor of Science in Construction Management.
