威廉·A·丹多将于9553694-1995财年在印第安纳州立大学支付300,000美元Terre Haute，47809-0001年度高级技术教育标题：推进地理技术教育：为21世纪的劳动力提供地理信息系统远程技能印第安纳州立大学地理和地质学系，正在向25名社区大学教师介绍地理信息系统(GIS)的原理，地理信息系统是20世纪90年代增长最快的就业领域之一。这一示范项目旨在促进将地理信息系统作为两年制大学众多以技术为导向的教学项目的组成部分，为中西部劳动力提供受过这一快速增长技术使用培训的技术人员，这是必要的第一步。由来自同一机构的两到三名社区大学教师组成的小组工作，参与者将在两个为期三周的暑期班和一个继续教育课程中学习地理信息系统的基本原理。他们正在学习这项技术在当今商业、政府和工业中的多种使用方式。该项目的直接目的是让学员充分熟悉地理信息系统原理和软件及其实用知识，以便他们能够带着足够的专业知识回到校园，开始将这项技术纳入现有课程。长期目标是让学员在他们的机构里建立不同的地理信息系统教育项目。为了确保项目目标的实现，来自拥有成功的地理信息系统项目的两年制学院的顾问正在为组织所有教学项目提供建议，并成为暑期学院教学团队的一部分。一名两年的大学教职员工担任项目评估员。东伊利诺伊社区学院的罗宾逊校区和印第安纳职业技术学院的Terre Haute校区的密切合作得到了保证，这两个机构的教员团队将在暑期学院接受地理信息系统教学，并为他们提供硬件和软件，以帮助将地理信息系统应用到他们现有的课程中。开发地理信息系统入门课程和将地理信息系统纳入这两个机构的现有课程是该项目的一个主要目标。

William A. Dando DUE 9553694 Indiana State University FY1995 $ 300,000 Terre Haute, IN 47809-0001 Advanced Technological Education Title: Advancing Geo-technology Education: Providing GIS Remote Skills for the Workforce of the Twenty-First Century The Department of Geography and Geology of Indiana State University, is introducing twenty-five community college instructors to the principles of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), one of the fastest growing employment fields in the 19990s. Designed to promote the adoption of GIS as an integral part of numerous technically-oriented instructional programs in two-year colleges, this model program is taking the needed first step in supplying the workforce in the Midwest with technicians educated in the use of this rapidly growing technology. Working in teams of two or three community college instructors from the same institution, participants are acquiring the basic principles of GIS in two 3-week summer institutes and in one continuing education class. They are learning of the many ways in which this technology is used today in business, government, and industry. The immediate aim of this project is to give participants sufficient familiarity with GIS principles and knowledge of software and its utility so that they can return to their campuses with enough expertise to begin to incorporate this technology into existing courses. The long-term aim envisions participants establishing discrete GIS- education programs at their institutions. To ensure realization of project goals, consultants from two-year colleges with successful GIS programs are advising in organizing all instructional programs and are part of the summer institutes' teaching teams. A two-year college faculty member is serving as project evaluator. Close cooperation of the Robinson, Illinois campus of Illinois Eastern Illinois Co mmunity Colleges and the Terre Haute campus of Indiana Vocational Technical Institute is assured with the inclusion of faculty teams from those two institutions receiving GIS instruction in the summer institutes and by providing them with hardware and software to help facilitate employment of GIS into their existing courses. Development of introductory courses in GIS and integration of GIS into existing courses at these two institutions is a primary aim of the project.
