I have a client that has asked me if I was eligible to apply for a license in Indiana. he said that their staff surveyor was not eligible because he does not have a degree.
I have a 2 year AAS in Civil/Construction Engineering technology.
I read the eligibility requirements, and I did not see if there was a requirement for a 2 year or 4 year degree.
Thanks,
Jimmy

I think pages 12-13 and 56-58 should be what you are looking for.
It is my understanding that with a 2-year associates, Indiana requires passing of the state exam, 6 or more years experience of work and a required course load of the following:
(1) Twelve (12) semester credit hours in college level mathematics, including at least a three (3) semester credit hour course in
calculus or differential equations.
(2) Five (5) semester credit hours in college level physics.
(3) Six (6) semester credit hours in any of the following college level science subjects:
(A) Chemistry.
(B) Astronomy.
(C) Physics.
(D) Geology.
(E) Botany.
(F) Dendrology.
(4) Twenty-seven (27) semester credit hours in college level surveying courses consisting of the following:
(A) Courses in each of the following six (6) subjects totaling at least eighteen (18) semester credit hours:
(i) Land survey systems.
(ii) Property surveys.
(iii) Property descriptions, writing, and analysis.
(iv) Surveying law.57
(v) Surveying calculations, including mensuration statistics.
(vi) Subdivision planning and design.
(B) Courses in at least three (3) of the following subjects totaling at least nine (9) semester credit hours:
(i) Topographic surveying.
(ii) Photogrammetric surveying.
(iii) Route surveying.
(iv) Construction surveying.
(v) Control surveying.
Good luck. Indiana's board is not very easy to work with and their process for licensure is very subjective.
Thanks. I have a good bit of those classes. (I am about 25 hours or so from a 4 year degree).
I don't know that the amount of work I would get would be worth the hassle and application fees to possibly be denied.
If you do apply, a word of advice. Do not expect the board to contact you about anything. I hope they are better now, but they didn't even contact me to let me know I failed the test, among other things.
