Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems Laboratoryfor Undergraduate Training

田纳西河谷管理局提供了一个数字化的当地数据库，以支持田纳西大学查塔努加分校在ARC/INFO和相关系统方面的本科生培训，以便培养一支受过专业培训的劳动力队伍，为联邦、州、地方和私人资源管理机构工作。该数据库和所需的设备将使生物和环境科学系能够改进其环境科学课程，同时为本科生提供地理信息系统和遥感技术的实践经验。该项目应该培养出更好的环境科学毕业生，为进入迅速扩大的就业市场或继续研究生教育做好准备。

A digitized local database has been provided by the Tennessee Valley Authority to support undergraduate training at University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in ARC/INFO and related systems in order to develop a professionally trained workforce to staff federal, state, local, and private resource management agencies. This database together with the requested equipment will enable the Biological and Environmental Sciences Department to improve its environmental science curriculum and, at the same time, give its undergraduate students hands-on experience with Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing technology . The project should produce environmental science graduates better prepared to enter a rapidly expanding job market or continue in graduate education.
