About the Program

A surveyor is a professional person with the academic qualifications and technical expertise to practice the science of measurement; to assemble and assess land and geographic related information; to use that information for the purpose of planning and implementing the efficient administration of the land, the sea and structures thereon; and to incite the advancement and development of such practices.

At NJIT, our curriculum stresses the technical, theoretical, and legal aspects of surveying, with a special emphasis on the case law to adequately perform a land survey and/or to aid judicial authorities in resolving boundary disputes.

NJIT’s Surveying Engineering Technology Program (B.S. Engineering Technology) is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org., under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Surveying/Geomatics Engineering Technology and Similarly Named Programs.

Accreditation.org (https://accreditation.org/), an effort of New Jersey Institute of Technology, offers information about why program accreditation is an important consideration when choosing a degree program. The portal underscores NJIT’s commitment to accreditation and supports building awareness of the value of worldwide accreditation of academic programs in engineering, engineering technology, and computing.
