Geospatial Engineering (Land Surveyor)

Land surveyors work at the intersection of land, math, and technology. They spend their days outdoors marking property lines, measuring slopes and distances, and recording the features of a site with precision. One day might involve hiking across open fields, the next setting up high-tech equipment in a growing neighborhood. Surveyors use tools like GPS systems, laser rangefinders, and mapping software to turn raw data into information that builders and planners rely on. If you enjoy working outside, solving real-world puzzles, and helping shape the places where people live and work, surveying offers a rewarding career path.

To get you started in this career, we’ll send you through the geospatial engineering associate degree program at Austin Community College.
