Earth and Geographic Sciences Professor Jane Huang discusses a project with students in her Intro to Geospatial Technology where, as teams, they will hide small objects around campus and find them using GPS (Global Positioning System). This is a gateway course to theories, skills, and techniques of geospatial technologies, such as GPS, Google Earth, GIS (Geographic Information System), and remote sensing. Hands-on computer exercises based on a wide range of social and physical features are utilized to provide a solid foundation for further geospatial technologies classes.
