This 2-page document explores the growing and changing field of surveying due to the incorporation of new technologies such as GPS, GIS, and remote sensing. Here, the Geospatial Technology Competency Model (GTCM) is addressed and contextualized for instructors. The GTCM formally outlined some of the...

This resource, created by The GIS 2 GPS Portal Resources For Educators & Students, "want[s] to make educators and students aware of these two new emerging technologies, Geographical Information System (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS), and Remote Sensing (RS)." The resource contains links to...

This video, from the Integrated Geospatial Education and Technology Training Project (iGETT), is the first part of a two-part presentation on thermal infrared sensing. Topics covered include an introduction to the concept of thermal infrared, thermal radiation laws (including Backbody,...

This video, from the Integrated Geospatial Education and Technology Training Project (iGETT), is the second part of a two-part presentation on thermal infrared sensing. It begins with an opportunity to address questions from the first part of the presentation and then reviews concepts with multiple...

This webpage from the GeoTech Center features a document from Irina Kopteva of Pikes Peak Community College discussing the Tiered Internship Model for students in geospatial technology. The goal of the project was "to create a tiered internship program with industry that will start with two-year...

Learning Unit Description: The Integrated Geospatial Education and Technology Training Project (iGETT) presents a series of Learning Units (LU) designed to incorporate federal land remote sensing data into Geographic Information System (GIS) instruction. The Tracking Land Cover Changes in the San...

This exercise, from the Integrated Geospatial Education and Technology Training Project (iGETT), uses remote sensing data to identify land cover changes in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California using Landsat ETM+ imagery. The four part activity uses ArcGIS 10.1 and covers file management,...

This tutorial, from Purdue University, "is designed to expose users to basic functions in HEC-GeoRAS for pre- and/or post-processing of GIS data and HEC-RAS results for flood inundation mapping using ArcGIS." After outlining computer and data requirements, the tutorial outlines "Setting up Analysis...
