项目摘要

An increasing percentage of the nation's technician workforce will use geospatial technologies in their occupations. An important need has therefore emerged for well-qualified technicians who possess geospatial skills. To meet this emergent need, the University of North Georgia (UNG) will collaborate with industrial partners to develop new programs focused on geospatial and engineering technology to prepare highly-skilled technicians for success in applicable science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions. The curriculum will promote an integrated understanding of areas such as geographic information systems, computer-aided design techniques, surveying, and spatial analysis. In addition, the project will create course materials that incorporate elements of geospatial and engineering technologies into traditional science classes such as biology, geology, and physics to also enhance student learning in these courses. The project will offer students the opportunity to obtain employer-recognized credentials, expand pathways toward technician careers, and enrich the scientific and engineering technology workforce.Through a strong partnership of education and industry, the project will develop curricula for two new academic programs at the UNG-Gainesville campus: an Associate of Science degree in Geospatial and Engineering Technology and a certificate in Land Surveying. Innovative courses will be developed to integrate aspects of geospatial technology courses, such as spatial environmental variability, and aspects of engineering technology courses such as numerical and design case studies. The coursework will focus on applications to distinctive technical areas including agricultural science and engineering, forestry and conservation, environmental science and engineering, surveying and mapping, geology, and civil engineering. The project will develop articulation agreements that link high schools and technical colleges to associate and bachelor level degrees to offer seamless transition pathways. The intellectual merit of this project is manifested by introducing and combining geospatial and engineering technologies to enhance career pathways in many applicable fields. The impact of the collective efforts on student learning will also be assessed. The project will disseminate course materials, processes, methodologies, outcomes, and best practices to the STEM education community.

越来越多的国家技术人员将在他们的职业中使用地理空间技术。因此，迫切需要具备地理空间技能的合格技术人员。为了满足这一迫切需求，北格鲁吉亚大学（UNG）将与工业合作伙伴合作，开发专注于地理空间和工程技术的新课程，为高技能技术人员在适用的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）专业中取得成功做好准备。该课程将促进对地理信息系统、计算机辅助设计技术、测量和空间分析等领域的综合理解。此外，该项目将创建课程材料，将地理空间和工程技术的元素融入传统的科学课程，如生物学，地质学和物理学，以提高学生在这些课程中的学习。该项目将为学生提供获得雇主认可的证书的机会，扩大通往技术人员职业的途径，并丰富科学和工程技术劳动力。通过教育和行业的强有力的合作伙伴关系，该项目将为UNG盖恩斯维尔校区的两个新的学术课程开发课程：地理空间和工程技术理学副学士学位和土地测量证书。将开发创新课程，以整合地理空间技术课程的各个方面，如空间环境变异性，以及工程技术课程的各个方面，如数字和设计案例研究。课程将侧重于应用到独特的技术领域，包括农业科学与工程，林业和保护，环境科学与工程，测绘，地质和土木工程。该项目将制定衔接协议，将高中和技术学院与副学士和学士学位联系起来，提供无缝过渡途径。该项目的智力价值体现在引入和结合地理空间和工程技术，以加强许多适用领域的职业道路。此外，还将评估集体努力对学生学习的影响。该项目将向STEM教育界传播课程材料、流程、方法、成果和最佳做法。
