Do you learn about the history of surveying as well? I'm super interested in how people surveyed the land for early bridges or for the purpose of cartography.

I'm quite early in the course, so couldn't give you a good answer sadly.

The intro to surveying class had a very broad overview of the history- important technologies, discoveries, and figures.

There is a Surveying and Engineering Law class that I expect will contain a lot of historical cases. Otherwise, there are no specific classes, so any history will probably be dispersed throughout the degree.
