This project expands and develops the Cartography and Remote Sensing Laboratory. The increased number of computers, advanced software, and peripheral equipment allows for more hands-on experience for undergraduate students enrolled in remote sensing, cartography, and geographic information systems (GIS) courses in the analysis of satellite imagery, creation of spatial databases, mapping, and the use of GIS. Rapid advances in both software and hardware have provided students and faculty with powerful new tools to address environmental issues, urban and regional planning problems, and the modeling of the Earth's physical systems, as well as enabling students to work in innovative areas such as animation and interactive mapping and to develop their knowledge of the nature of spatial data and its presentation. Sophisticated software in remote sensing and GIS gives students exciting tools for creating and analyzing spatial data, for the analysis of radar imagery, for the creation of three-dimensional models, and for the use of statistical algorithms for image classification and enhancement. The enlargement and modernization of the laboratory not only results in the improvement of the laboratory experience, but also enables more students to be included in the existing courses, improves the content of the courses, and expands the current course offerings in these areas. The impact of the laboratory improvements on student performance, as well as satisfaction with the program, curricular offerings, and enrollment are being carefully monitored. Results can be presented at professional conferences and then submitted as an article to a professional journal. The article can detail the impact of the new equipment and software on the program and can include suggestions for the development of similar laboratory facilities.

本项目扩展和发展了地图学与遥感实验室。随着计算机、先进软件和外围设备的增加，选修遥感、制图和地理信息系统（GIS）课程的本科生可以在卫星图像分析、空间数据库创建、制图和GIS使用等方面获得更多的实践经验。软件和硬件的快速发展为学生和教师提供了强大的新工具来解决环境问题，城市和区域规划问题，以及地球物理系统的建模，同时使学生能够在动画和交互式地图等创新领域工作，并发展他们对空间数据本质及其表示的知识。遥感和地理信息系统的复杂软件为学生提供了令人兴奋的工具，用于创建和分析空间数据，分析雷达图像，创建三维模型，以及使用统计算法进行图像分类和增强。实验室的扩建和现代化不仅使实验室体验得到改善，而且使更多的学生能够参与现有课程，改进课程内容，并扩展这些领域的现有课程设置。实验室改进对学生表现的影响，以及对课程、课程提供和入学的满意度，正在仔细监测。结果可以在专业会议上展示，然后作为文章提交给专业期刊。文章可以详细说明新设备和软件对程序的影响，并可以为类似实验室设施的开发提供建议。
