Undergraduate Laboratory for Computer Cartography and Geographic Analysis

本课题的主要目标是将传统的手工制图实验室改造为现代化的计算机制图实验室。在此过程中，第二个目标是为广大地理及环境研究学生提供互联网连接，以及更新现有的地理信息系统教学设施。这些目标正在通过建立一个14个座位的局域网计算实验室来实现。正在安装各种软件包，使制图学学生能够接触到目前与制图学领域有关的各种应用程序。此外，实验室中的每个工作站都可以分配自己的IP地址，并通过大学更大的网络连接到互联网。受这个项目影响的主要受众是高年级地理和环境研究专业的学生。这个项目的影响可以根据学生测试和雇主面试来评估。

The primary goal of this project is to transform the traditional manual cartography lab into a modern computer cartography lab. In the process, secondary goals of providing Internet access to a wide range of Geography and Environmental Studies students as well as updating the existing facilities used for teaching GIS have been set. These goals are being achieved by establishing a 14-seat LAN computing lab. A variety of software packages are being installed that will give cartography students exposure to the full range of applications currently associated with the field of cartography. In addition, each workstation in the lab can be assigned its own IP address and connected, through the universities larger network, to the Internet. The primary audience being affected by this project is upper-division geography and environmental studies majors. The impact of this project can be evaluated based on student testing and employer interviews.
