Geography (88)This project supports NSF's goal of integrating technology into education. It enhances and revitalizes the undergraduate GIS curricula at University of Wisconsin Oshkosh (UW Oshkosh) by adapting and implementing high-quality educational materials and effective educational practices in geographic information science, including the GIS core curriculum developed by the NSF supported National Center of Geographic Information and Analysis, and the remote sensing core curriculum being developed by the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. This project is engaged in a major curriculum renovation that will integrate GIS, remote sensing and Global Positioning System technologies into undergraduate education and research. In particular, this proposal demonstrates two major changes in the development of the new GIS curricula. First, three current geographic technique courses are being enhanced and two new technique courses developed to provide students with laboratory-based learning and additional opportunities to enhance their critical thinking abilities. Students now have the opportunity to learn cutting-edge technologies in geography. Second, a new GIS Laboratory is being assembled using high-end personal computers in a network environment for use in the new technique courses. This lab is also enhancing opportunities for student-faculty collaborative research. The University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh is a comprehensive, suburban, commuter campus. These improvements in teaching geographic information science may serve as a model for many similar institutions.

地理学 (88)该项目支持 NSF 将技术融入教育的目标。它通过调整和实施地理信息科学方面的高质量教育材料和有效的教育实践，增强和振兴威斯康星大学奥什科什分校 (UW Oshkosh) 的本科 GIS 课程，包括由 NSF 支持的国家地理信息与分析中心开发的 GIS 核心课程，以及由美国摄影测量和遥感学会开发的遥感核心课程。该项目进行了一项重大课程改革，将地理信息系统、遥感和全球定位系统技术融入本科教育和研究中。特别是，该提案展示了新 GIS 课程开发的两个重大变化。首先，正在加强现有的三门地理技术课程，并开发两门新技术课程，为学生提供基于实验室的学习和增强批判性思维能力的额外机会。学生现在有机会学习地理领域的尖端技术。其次，正在组建一个新的GIS实验室，使用网络环境中的高端个人计算机，用于新技术课程。该实验室还增加了师生合作研究的机会。威斯康星大学奥什科什分校是一所综合性郊区通勤校园。这些地理信息科学教学的改进可以作为许多类似机构的典范。
