LAND SURVEYING (LAND) [NEW for Fall 07]

Tip:

Students considering transfer to URI’s bachelor program in civil engineering  are encouraged to follow a calculus MATH sequence including MATH-1900, 1910, 1920, 2910 in place of MATH 1700, 1710, 1670.

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.

Processing Control Technology Certificate (PRCC)

Knight Campus, Warwick

The Process Control Technology Program is a program leading to the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree. The curriculum is designed to familiarize the student with a variety of industrial and scientific instruments, including automatic controllers, recorders, transmitters, analyzers and indicators. The process control student receives instructions in electronics, mechanics, hydraulics and pneumatics.

In this program, the student is trained to calibrate, maintain, design and operate instruments used on process control systems. These systems include power generation, chemical, pulp and paper, water and wastewater, and food and beverage systems.

All students entering the process control program at the Community College of Rhode Island have a common schedule. After successful completion of this first semester, the student has several options: He/she can move forward in the process control program or the student may transfer (with no loss of credit or time) to electronics, telecommunication or computer networking technology.

The Process Control certificate is obtained by taking only the Major Requirements of the Process Control Technology Degree.

P - This course has a prerequisite. See Course Descriptions section for class hours, prerequisites and corequisites.

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.
