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.

该项目的主要目标是将传统的手工制图实验室改造成现代化的计算机制图实验室。在这个过程中，次要目标提供互联网接入范围广泛的地理和环境研究的学生，以及更新用于教学地理信息系统的现有设施已经确定。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，使制图学生能够接触到目前与制图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。受此项目影响的主要受众是地理和环境研究专业的高年级学生。该项目的影响可以根据学生测试和雇主访谈进行评估。
