The Spatial Analysis Laboratory

空间分析实验室的目标是在本科阶段更好地整合地理信息的收集，分析和视觉呈现。 有了这个新的实验室，项目目标是通过技术课程和内容导向课程的整合，并通过广泛的现实世界的问题解决项目。 学生能够在课程内容中应用计算机和统计知识，因为他们通过程序前进。 广泛的动手，项目导向和合作学习充分参与课堂学生。 项目与该地区的现实问题有关，例如经济发展，这样学生就可以亲自参与和情感参与。 六个年度出版物从类项目的结果：地理数据：来源和质量，数据手册经济发展在阿巴拉契亚肯塔基州，统计地图册阿巴拉契亚肯塔基州，地理分布的垃圾填埋场在阿巴拉契亚肯塔基州，国际贸易参考书阿巴拉契亚肯塔基州，和学生波特。

The objective of the Spatial Analysis Laboratory is to achieve a better integration of the collection, analysis, and visual presentation of geographic information at the undergraduate level. With this new lab, project objectives are reached through the integration of techniques courses and content- oriented courses and through extensive real-world problem-solving projects. Students are able to apply computer and statistical knowledge in content courses as they advance through the program. Extensive hands-on, project-oriented, and cooperative learning fully engages students in classes. Projects are related to the real-world problems in the region, such as economic development, so that students can be personally and emotionally involved. Six annual publications result from class projects: Geographic Data: Sources and Quality, Data Book for Economic Development in Appalachian Kentucky, Statistical Atlas of Appalachian Kentucky, Geographical Distribution of Landfills in Appalachian Kentucky, International Trade Reference Book for Appalachian Kentucky, and Student Portfolios.
