The goal of the project is to expand and improve the existing curriculum and teaching capabilities in computer-assisted cartography, geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing in the Department of Geography, University of Idaho. The new laboratory equipment includes PC workstations, data input and output devices (digitizers and plotters) and a local area network to provide transfer capability of files from IBM compatible workstations to Macintosh workstations as well as with the campus-wide electronic network. This will provide a versatile laboratory for undergraduate instruction in computer assisted geographic information technologies. A series of lab sessions based on the proposed equipment has been designed that will address a missing component of the curriculum, learning and mastering tools and skills to address theoretical problems and applied techniques needed in the present computer-aided job market. The laboratory improvement is part of a larger development program for the College of Mines and Earth Resources.

该项目的目标是扩大和改进爱达荷州大学地理系计算机辅助制图、地理信息系统(GIS)和遥感方面的现有课程和教学能力。新的实验室设备包括个人计算机工作站、数据输入和输出设备(数字化仪和绘图仪)和一个局域网，以提供从IBM兼容工作站到Macintosh工作站以及与整个校园电子网络的文件传输能力。这将为计算机辅助地理信息技术的本科教学提供一个多功能的实验室。在拟议设备的基础上设计了一系列实验室课程，以解决课程中缺失的部分，学习和掌握工具和技能，以解决目前计算机辅助就业市场所需的理论问题和应用技术。实验室的改进是矿产与地球资源学院更大发展计划的一部分。
