How many of us surveyor types have an actual degree in surveying or it's sexier cousin Geomatics? I for one do not. I have a degree in Architectural Engineering....?ÿjust like surveying better.?ÿ I'm licensed and practice in two states, but at times get an attitude of patronizing superiority from the more educated crowd.. just curious.
I have a two year degree in Civil/Construction Engineering Technology. I am currently working on my BAS in Land Surveying from Great Basin College. I suspect I am about 3-4 years away from getting the degree. I am licensed in 5 states.
My degree is Surveying Engineering Technology from UH.?ÿ
Go Coogs!
ETSU, BS in Surveying and Mapping, December 2000.
U-Maine, BS in Surveying Engineering
Many of the surveyors I know have very different backgrounds, and got into surveying more by accident than by intent.
Associate Degree in Civil Engineering Technology
I have a BS in Surveying Engineering Technology from Alfred State College in NY.
A lot of surveyors in NY either have an AAS or BS from Alfred.
Degree in Civil Engineering and Masters in GIS. As long as your qualification is somewhat related to AEC it doesn't seem to really matter here as long as you are competent.
I've got a BS in Civil Eng Tech, a MS in Eng. Tech, and working on a PhD in Education.?ÿ I did concentrate my electives on surveying during both the BS and MS work.
I know several very fine surveyors with degrees in Ag and Forestry.
I was also very fortunate to learn a great deal from some guys with no degree but a ton of self taught and experience based knowledge.
Aside from Tommy Young, I can think of only one other surveyor I personally know who has a degree specifically in surveying.
Your post brings up something that has been on my mind frequently as of late.?ÿ I'll start a new post for it.
University of Maine, B.S. Surveying Engineering
S.U.N.Y. Alfred, Associates in Surveying Technology
B.S. Aquatic Biology - Northern Arizona University
B.S. Chemistry -?ÿNorthern Arizona University
Associate Degree In Applied Surveying from Tyler Junior College 1973.
An interesting cast of characters we got.
Forestry major here. Got into surveying (mandated by the job, since part of my responsibilities included the responsibility for surveying/mapping/marking/maintaining/defending boundaries on 2 mil acres of forest lands in Northern Alabama and Northern Georgia) when promoted to the position of Forest Engineer for a Southeastern U.S. paper company. Left the paper company after 9 years to pursue a land surveying practice. Few regrets, if any. By now I would have been force retired by the paper company. Never one to be idle, I work on, because through my work I find fulfillment. I love what I do, but then I refuse to get involved in construction surveying.

Another know-it-all engineering graduate here. ?ÿP.E., no less.
All I got is a BS in BS!
