The main goal of the Geographical Technology Implementation Project (GIS-TECH) is to build both the capacity and infrastructure for training GIS technicians. To this end, the GIS-TECH project is modeled after the highly successful Cisco Networking Academy model, which Del Mar College has taught since 1999. Like Cisco, GIS-TECH creates a model academy that emphasizes a train-the-trainer curriculum and encourages mentoring of minority and female students into the GIS technology field. The GIS-TECH project will create a sustainable system to provide GIS training to secondary teachers, industry technicians and first responders. The mentoring component of the project is critical to providing effective and sustainable results. The GIS-TECH program provides mentoring in two distinct ways: 1) training of secondary teachers who will then become advocates for the GIS program in high school and 2) collaboration with the GO Force and TACHE minority recruitment and mentoring programs. The GIS-TECH project is also developing new, domain-specific GIS curricula. Leveraging the talents and efforts of experts in the field, the project is developing three new domain-specific GIS courses. The project provides a model for the seamless transition of GIS technicians from high school to community college to the university. The intellectual merit of this project lies in its targeted approach to GIS education, focusing the computer technology aspects of GIS implementation and use that are normally missing from such programs. The broader impacts of the project lie in diversity of the project's intended student audience, which includes large percentages of Hispanic and female students.

地理技术实施项目的主要目标是建立培训地理信息系统技术人员的能力和基础设施。 为此，GIS-TECH项目是仿照非常成功的Cisco Networking Academy模型设计的，德尔马尔学院自1999年以来一直在教授该模型。 像思科一样，GIS-TECH创建了一个示范学院，强调培训培训师课程，并鼓励指导少数民族和女性学生进入GIS技术领域。 GIS-TECH项目将建立一个可持续的系统，向中学教师、工业技术人员和第一反应者提供地理信息系统培训。 该项目的辅导部分对于提供有效和可持续的成果至关重要。 GIS-TECH计划以两种不同的方式提供指导：1）培训中学教师，他们将成为高中GIS计划的倡导者，2）与GO Force和TACHE少数民族招聘和指导计划合作。 GIS-TECH项目还在开发新的、针对具体领域的地理信息系统课程。 利用该领域专家的才能和努力，该项目正在开发三个新的特定领域地理信息系统课程。 该项目为GIS技术人员从高中到社区学院再到大学的无缝过渡提供了一个模式。 该项目的智力价值在于其有针对性的GIS教育方法，重点是GIS实施和使用的计算机技术方面，这通常是从这样的程序缺失。 该项目更广泛的影响在于该项目的目标学生受众的多样性，其中包括很大比例的西班牙裔学生和女学生。
