The focus of the Land Surveying program is to provide the student with a thorough background in land surveying and mapping in addition to an introduction to the collecting, manipulating, formatting and mapping of data. A student who successfully completes the program will have the technical expertise necessary for an entry level position in the field of Land Surveying or related fields of geographic information systems specialists, architectural services, and engineering services. Land Surveyors measure and record property boundaries and the topography of the land for construction and engineering projects. Surveys are used to establish legal boundaries to prepare maps and exhibits, and write descriptions of land tracts that satisfy legal requirements. The program also assists students in preparing for the State Land Surveyor–In-Training and Land Surveyor’s Exams.

This Certificate of Achievement is in line with the Master Plan at Reedley College. Also, it matches the State Center Community College Districts Master Plan Goal 4 of Economic and Workforce Development by offering access to quality career technical programs. There is currently a high demand for surveyors in this area.
The Surveying program utilizes the college’s program review process for program monitoring and improvement. In addition to the program review process, the program meets at least twice annually with its industry-based advisory committee to discuss the enhancement of the instructional program and industry/workplace needs. Often discussions focus on community needs and the skills students need to attain to obtain gainful employment.
The knowledge and expertise of industry partners and advisory committee members was utilized to develop this certificate. Members are critical in expressing industry needs and trends and helping to steer the direction the program should take.
