Through the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) Laboratory, Trident Technical College will implement the use of high technology surveying equipment into a total of three civil engineering technology and civil engineering transfer program survey courses and labs. Implementation of this project will allow Trident to address three curriculum deficiencies: (1 ) Trident is unable to teach GPS surveying techniques to train surveyors to comply with recent South Carolina legislation mandates; (2) surveying students are often underprepared for employment because of the lack of GPS training; and (3) the existing equipment limits course content in surveying courses. Introduction to GPS survey equipment is necessary for the education of students entering the civil engineering technology field since the two-year technical colleges are the main source of education and degrees which qualify students to become licensed land surveyors. Through this project Trident Technical College will: revise curriculum in 3 existing civil engineering technology and civil engineering transfer courses to include the use of GPS surveying and mapping equipment; develop laboratory exercises that allow students to develop technical skills in utilizing GPS equipment and surveying software that prepares them for state mandated changes in surveying procedures; work with other technical colleges in the state to provide a flexible training program for students throughout the state interested in becoming registered land surveyors; and expand the introduction to surveying classes to the high school level including GPS and conventional surveying technology.

通过全球定位系统（GPS）实验室，三叉戟技术学院将实施利用高科技测量设备共三个土木工程技术和土木工程转移方案测量课程和实验室。该项目的实施将使Trident能够解决三个课程缺陷：(1)Trident无法教授GPS测量技术来培训测量师，以符合南卡罗来纳州最近的立法要求；(2)由于缺乏GPS培训，测量专业学生就业准备不足；(3)现有设备限制了测绘课的课程内容。导读GPS测量设备对于进入土木工程技术领域的学生的教育是必要的，因为两年制技术学院是使学生成为持牌土地测量师的主要教育和学位来源。通过这个项目三叉戟技术学院将：修改现有的3门土木工程技术课程和土木工程转学课程，包括使用GPS测绘设备；开展实验室练习，让学生培养使用GPS设备和测量软件的技术技能，为国家规定的测量程序变化做好准备；与州内其他技术学院合作，为全州有志于成为注册土地测量师的学生提供灵活的培训计划；将测量课程的导论扩展到高中水平，包括GPS和常规测量技术。
