The VU Surveying Technology equipment room is well equipped with the latest technology. This technology includes Leica, Trimble, and Topcon Total Stations along with Trimble and Ashtech GPS units. 

Students receive advanced training in computer-aided drafting using the latest versions of AutoCAD and Carlson Software.   Along with the total stations there are enough accessories to outfit fourteen 2-man crews. Although VU has the newest technology, every Freshmen class begins with "throw" chains, transits and dumpy levels. The objective of the program is to provide the Surveying profession with an educated employee who is profitable to that company DAY ONE. As a result, graduates are provided many employment opportunities at a higher than average salary and at a location of their choice.
