Geospatial Education Workshop: Integrating Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems for Technology Workforce Training at Two-Year Colleges

这个项目为一个讲习班提供部分支助，该讲习班汇集了两年制和四年制大学地理信息系统/遥感教育方面的领导人；来自美国地质调查局、美国国家科学基金会、美国国家航空航天局和其他感兴趣的联邦和州机构的代表；国家地理教育委员会；美国社区学院协会；环境科学研究所（ESRI）；以及其他GIS教育领域的领导者，研究GIS/遥感领域的劳动力需求，评估现有的大学课程，并研究将遥感教育纳入社区大学现有的GIS课程。这项工作得到了美国宇航局、美国地质勘探局和ESRI的额外资金支持，劳工部也参与了这项工作。NSF还为研讨会提供会议场地，并管理其他联邦机构提供的资金。

This project is providing partial support of a workshop that is bringing together leaders in GIS/Remote Sensing education from two and four year colleges; representatives from the US Geological Survey, NSF, NASA, and other interested Federal and State agencies; the National Council for Geographic Education; the American Association of Community Colleges; the Environmental Science Research Institute (ESRI); and other leaders in GIS education to examine workforce needs in GIS/remote sensing, assess existing college programs, and examine the incorporation of remote sensing education into existing GIS programs at community colleges. The effort is receiving additional funding support from NASA, USGS and ESRI, and also involves participation by the Department of Labor. NSF is also providing meeting space for the workshop, and managing funds provided by the other Federal agencies.
