LAND SURVEYING (LAND) [NEW for Fall 07]

Associate in APPLIED Science (A.A.S.) Degree

Knight Campus, Warwick

The Land Survey program curriculum is tailored to individuals seeking a career as a registered Professional Land Surveyor. Technological advancements have made the traditional mentor/apprentice approach to training obsolete. As of 1992, a new state law requires anyone applying for registration as a professional land surveyor to have a minimum of an associate's degree in land surveying or related curriculum. Most businesses are unable to afford the required commitment of time and money in training recruits in the basics of science and law. Land surveyors are playing an ever-increasing role in major land development projects and providing geographical data to information systems throughout the country. Graduates can also find careers as technicians and professionals in government, such as surveying, engineering, planning, zoning and public works departments, and in the private sector with surveying, engineering and architectural firms.

Telecommunications Engineering Technology Certificate

Knight Campus, Warwick

Telecommunications is the fastest growing segment of technology today. Telecommunications technologists are needed to plan, install and maintain state-of-the-art telephone systems, cable TV and computer networks. Although technologists have knowledge of theoretical topics, they focus on solving practical design and application problems.

This certificate is designed for individuals who already have a basic knowledge of mathematics and circuit theory. Courses are offered primarily during the day but some may also be offered in the evening. Courses in this certificate program can be applied toward an associate degree in Electronics Engineering Technology.
