Undergraduate Instruction in Terrain Mapping, Modeling and Analysis

该项目强调以更好的综合方法向佐治亚大学地理系的本科生教授地图技术课程。通过一套精心设计的15个以地形测绘、建模和分析为主题的实验室练习，学生将在为期10周的三个课程中学习计算机辅助制图、摄影测量和地理信息系统的原理和技术。综合方法允许教师对这些技术课程进行整体处理，并促进学生对这些测绘技术的相互依赖的理解。该项目建议购买386-VGA个人计算机、A和C尺寸的数字化仪、打印机、绘图仪和扫描仪，并结合ERDAS/VGA、PC ARC/INFO、GRASS、ATLAS*DRAW和SURFER等软件，作为实现这一目标的最适当和最具成本效益的配置。该项目完成后，将编制一份实验室手册和辅助软件。

The project emphasizes a better integrated approach to the teaching of courses in mapping techniques to undergraduate students in the Department of Geography, University of Georgia. Through a suite of 15 carefully designed laboratory exercises focusing on the theme of terrain mapping, modeling and analysis, students will learn in a sequence of three 10-week courses the principles and techniques of computer-assisted cartography, photogrammetry, and geographic information systems. The integrated approach allows a holistic treatment of these technique courses by the instructors and promotes understanding by students of the interdependence of these mapping techniques. The project recommends the purchase of 386- VGA personal computers, A- and C-sized digitizers, printers, plotters, and a scanner in conjunction with software, such as, ERDAS/VGA, pc ARC/INFO, GRASS, ATLAS*DRAW, and SURFER, as the most appropriate and cost-effective configuration to achieve the objective. After the completion of the project, a laboratory manual with supporting software will be produced.
