Geographic Information Systems (GIS) training is increasingly essential to any strong environmental/resource undergraduate degree. This project acquires the needed equipment to allow: (1) adding ARC/INFO training to several existing classes; (2) implementing new classes in spatial data; (3) having ARC/INFO available to students doing the required undergraduate research thesis; and (4) sharing experiences with the broader undergraduate education community. Six Pentium-based PCs and a large-format plotter are being added to the existing workstation and 6-seat license for ARC/INFO. This program can serve as a model for combining high-level GIS instruction and research with the natural resource field at the undergraduate level, which is a relatively new endeavor.

地理信息系统 (GIS) 培训对于任何强大的环境/资源本科学位都越来越重要。 该项目获得了所需的设备，以便：（1）在几个现有课程中添加 ARC/INFO 培训； (2) 在空间数据中实现新的类； (3) 为完成所需本科研究论文的学生提供 ARC/INFO； (4) 与更广泛的本科教育界分享经验。 六台基于奔腾的 PC 和一台大幅面绘图仪正在添加到现有工作站和 ARC/INFO 的 6 座许可证中。 该项目可以作为高水平GIS教学和研究与本科生自然资源领域相结合的典范，是一项相对较新的尝试。
