Surveying Engineering Technology (SET)
The plan of study integrates measurement science, construction technology, and data analysis to prepare students for careers in the built environment. Graduates have several opportunities with construction companies, state/government organizations, and private practice.
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.
The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) Bachelor of Science in Surveying Engineering Technology Program 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.
