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

该项目正在为一个研讨会提供部分支持，该研讨会汇集了来自两年制和四年制大学的地理信息系统/遥感教育领导人；来自美国地质调查局、NSF、NASA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)；以及其他地理信息系统教育领导人，以检查地理信息系统/遥感方面的劳动力需求，评估现有的大学课程，并研究将遥感教育纳入社区学院现有的地理信息系统课程。这项工作得到了NASA、USGS和ESRI的额外资金支持，劳工部也参与其中。NSF还为研讨会提供会议空间，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.
