“The Surveying Certificate for civil engineering majors was helpful to gain surveying knowledge that would supplement a civil engineering job. While taking the Basic Surveying class that is a part of the civil engineering curriculum, I learned the benefits of the certificate and career opportunities with dual professional licensure in civil engineering and surveying. This certificate provides more opportunities for my career choices.”
