Integrated Geospatial Education and Technology Training: Remote Sensing (iGETT: Remote Sensing)

近年来，产生数字数据的天基地球观测急剧增加，与一系列广泛的国家和国际问题有关。数据可用性和处理软件的进步使遥感技术人员能够分析和应用这些观测结果，这是美国劳工部于2009年批准的职业代码。遥感（iGETT-RS）项目代表了国家地理教育理事会、美国宇航局戈达德太空飞行中心、美国地质调查局遥感计划，环境系统研究所和ITT视觉信息解决方案。该项目正在培养36名地理空间教育工作者，以便在32所两年制学院、两所高中和两所大学开设综合地理信息系统和遥感课程、教学大纲和方案。在夏季学院和学年，教师参加实践社区学习遥感科学，整合遥感和GIS，并开发跨不同STEM学科和不同机构的教学技能和课程。通过一个项目网站，正在向其他机构广泛传播经过同行测试的教学资源，进一步扩大了该项目的影响。项目成果包括开展与行业相关的培训，以满足国家对遥感技术人员日益增长的需求以及其他高增长地理空间行业对劳动力的需求。

Space-based observations of the Earth that yield digital data have increased dramatically in recent years and are relevant to a wide range of national and international issues. Advances in data availability and processing software are enabling analysis and application of such observations by Remote Sensing Technicians, an occupational code approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in 2009.The Integrated Geospatial Education and Technology Training: Remote Sensing (iGETT-RS) project represents a collaboration among the National Council for Geographic Education, the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, the U.S. Geological Survey Remote Sensing Program, the Environmental Systems Research Institute, and ITT Visual Information Solutions. The project is preparing 36 geospatial educators to develop integrated geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing courses, curricula and programs at 32 two-year colleges, two high schools and two universities. During summer institutes and the academic year, faculty are participating in a community of practice to learn remote-sensing science, integrate remote sensing and GIS, and develop teaching skills and programs across diverse STEM disciplines and at diverse institutions. Peer-tested teaching resources are being widely disseminated to other institutions through a project website, further broadening the impact of the project. Project outcomes include industry-relevant training to meet the growing national need for remote-sensing technicians, as well as workforce needs in other high-growth geospatial industries.
