Surveying is a rapidly developing profession that focuses on the location of various land use rights and the boundaries between them. Consequently surveying is often considered to be a quasi-judicial profession. Like most professional fields, surveying is grounded in the sciences, notably the sciences of mathematics and measurement theory. Perhaps to a greater extent than many other professions, surveying is being rapidly affected by new technological changes, such as GPS, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), computerized mapping, robotics, scanning, and wireless communications.
Surveyors use a variety of tools and skills in their every day work. Due to technological advances, Surveyors now use the most state-of-the-art satellite and scanning technology, drones, computers, a knowledge of geometry, trigonometry and statistics, and a thorough grounding in our legal system and how it operates in relation to land ownership issues. The Bachelor of Science in Surveying and Mapping Science at ETSU is designed to prepare students for this important work.
