项目摘要

This project, structured upon the educational model presented by Wikle and Lambert (1996) for integrating GPS into college curricula, integrates the use of statistical and spatial analytical techniques. Adapting Global Positioning System (GPS) technology within the Geography and Environmental Studies Programs provides students with a variety of interdisciplinary skills that have aided them in: 1) constructing research hypotheses, 2) developing research methodologies, 3) collecting data, 4) analyzing, and 5) preparing presentations. This project recognizes that most environmental data are spatial in nature and require an understanding of location and use GPS technology to provide an effective technique for determining location and a method of recording the spatial characteristics of the environment. Students are exposed to GPS theory and application in forums ranging from introductory lectures and labs to more sophisticated GPS applications in junior- and senior-level classes. At the introductory level, this approach introduces a wide, interdisciplinary audience to GPS technology, its scientific foundations, and its growing importance in society. At the advanced level, this initiative exposes geography and environmental studies students to advanced mapping techniques using GPS and the integration of these data within GIS.

这个项目是根据Wikle和Lambert（1996年）提出的将全球定位系统纳入大学课程的教育模式设计的，综合使用了统计和空间分析技术。适应全球定位系统（GPS）技术在地理和环境研究计划为学生提供了各种跨学科的技能，帮助他们：1）构建研究假设，2）开发研究方法，3）收集数据，4）分析，和5）准备演示文稿。该项目认识到，大多数环境数据是空间性的，需要了解位置，并利用全球定位系统技术提供一种确定位置的有效技术和一种记录环境空间特征的方法。学生接触到GPS理论和应用的论坛，从介绍性讲座和实验室，以更复杂的GPS应用在初级和高级班。在入门级，这种方法介绍了广泛的，跨学科的观众GPS技术，其科学基础，其在社会中日益增长的重要性。在高级层面，这一举措使地理和环境研究专业的学生接触到使用全球定位系统的高级制图技术以及将这些数据纳入地理信息系统。
