"around here that would be hiring the help to do staking and bypassing the surveyor"
B.S. Land Surveying - Michigan Tech?ÿ
AAS is GIS/GPS technologies Montana tech.....go diggers!!
My degree is Surveying Engineering Technology from UH.?ÿ
Go Coogs!
Go Coogs! I was enrolled in that major at UH, but then they axed the program and put me in Construction Management...I then switched to Civil Eng. and did some surveying coursework at community college.
BS Surveying in Engineering Technology NJIT
BS Geodesy and Cartography, University of Life Sciences Wroclaw, Poland
MS Geodesy,?ÿUniversity of Life Sciences Wroclaw, Poland
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.
Some?ÿsurveyors in NY have an AAS degree?ÿin Surveying Technology from Paul Smith's College.
Currently, Paul Smith's College has only a two-year AAS ABET accredited?ÿsurvey program. They are prepared?ÿto change it to 4 BS if NY considers a 4-year degree requirement?ÿfor licensure.?ÿ
I have a AAS in Surveying & Mapping from Denver Institute of Technology.

The posters here have a tremendous amount of education as well as experience. But I think those of us with little or no secondary education ( like me) are less likely to respond to this thread. Certainly I would be a better surveyor if, all else being equal, I had more education. But then again, all else being equal never happens.

Up until around 2002 you did not need a 4 year degree in Texas to become a RPLS.?ÿ Some of my best mentors and even some of the more respected surveyors in the area do not hold college degrees.?ÿ My degree gave me the opportunity to become a professional in Texas.?ÿ My respected pedigree comes from learning from some really great surveyors.

Exactly, but why is that? Secondary education in surveying or geomatics is important but does not a surveyor make. Nobody would argue that formal secondary education is unnecessary, but I've known some highly educated folks who couldn't survey their way out of a wet paper bag. Conversely, some highly respected surveyors I know trained as foresters or as artillery surveyors.
Surveying is a combination of Science, Math, Art, History, and Talent. Some have part of that, some have all. No amount of education will make up for a lack of natural talent in surveying but it will definitely help those that already have the talent.
Put me in a 4 year degree program in Music and you will see a massive waste of tuition x 4 years.

No degree for me, I guess a perpetual freshman =)?ÿ Have a couple certificates on the wall from a community college and university for a few classes I took along the way, they hang on a wall and don't do anything.....

BS in Construction Engineering & Technology from Louisiana Tech, class of '87. My dad was a licensed surveyor as well. His degree...Philosophy!?!?
BS in a non surveying field.
In theory I support a surveying degree requirement, but I don't think most programs are doing a good enough job to justify it. They are training geomaticians, not land surveyors.
I think possesing a four year degree from a liberal art program, including the hard sciences, is a more useful measure of a person's ability to be a successful proffesional than an engineering based program.
Of course, I do recognize that there are many great surveyors with engineering degrees, or no degree at all. The problem is, how do you identify those people??ÿ
