Remote Sensing/Geographic Information System Teaching Laboratory

遥感和地理信息系统的理论和实践培训在培训环境科学家进行自然资源和城市增长管理方面变得越来越重要。本科培养遥感地理信息系统项目新增计算机工作站12台；1台服务器平台，用于本地网络与Internet连接；1 . hub平台作为主要的数据库提供商；1套完整的地理定位系统，能够将数据下载到集线器平台；1台256灰度级d类扫描仪；以及额外所需的软件，以支持自1985年以来开发的环境科学课程的持续扩展。这些资源的使用支持ARC/INFO、ERDAS IMAGINE和相关系统的本科培训，以便为联邦、州、地方和私人资源管理机构培养一支经过专业培训的劳动力队伍。该项目使生物与环境科学系能够改进其课程，同时为学生提供在现实世界中使用系统的实践经验。该项目的最终结果可能是环境科学专业的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了更好的准备。

Training in the theory and practice of remote sensing and geographic information systems is becoming increasingly important in the training of environmental scientists for natural-resource and urban-growth management. The Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System for Undergraduate Training project is adding 12 computer workstations; 1 server platform for a local network and Internet connection; 1 hub platform to serve as the main database provider; 1 complete geographic positioning system capable of downloading data to the hub platform; 1 256-grey-level class-D scanner; and additional required software to support continued expansion of the environmental science curricula developed since 1985. The use of these resources supports undergraduate training in ARC/INFO, ERDAS IMAGINE, and related systems in order to develop a professionally trained workforce to staff Federal, state, local, and private resource management agencies. This project enables the Biological and Environmental Sciences Department to improve its curriculum and, at the same time, give students hands-on experience with systems used in the real world. The ultimate outcome of the project may be Environmental Science graduates who are better prepared to enter a rapidly expanding job market or to continue in graduate education.
