Geospatial technologies in the undergraduate curriculum: Course development to research Aaron Kingsbury, PhD (MaSU) Sarah Sletten, PhD (MaSU) ND Space Grant Annual Meeting, 2016

Today’s chat Background to Mayville State University (MaSU) Trace the development of our geospatial technologies learning progression (i.e., LP) Achievements to date Expectations and future directions

Mayville State University Established in 1889 Between Grand Forks and Fargo Smallest university in NDUS system (<500) Teaching college Old Main, MaSU

Getting the ball rolling… 2013: No institutional memory of GISciences Students with limited understanding of basic map reading and geospatial concepts/applications/technologies Goal to develop learning progression from near zero to TBD! GoogleEarth to remotely-sensed images to ESRI StoryMaps to research 2014: Funding for GPS receivers (North Dakota STEM Education)

MaSU students during GPS exercises

Phase : Introduction to GIS (social science education majors) 2015: ND Space Grant Summer Faculty Fellowship Introduction to GIS for majors in Science/Science Education Adapted case studies and examples specific to natural sciences Included research trip to state park Immediate aim to create a group of students across natural and social sciences with working knowledge of GIS for future K-12 teaching/research Mapping plant diffusion

Phase 3 Links to the nature of geography Bridge disciplines, blend the natural and social sciences with GIS, and teach qualitative research methods at an undergraduate level If “North Dakota feeds the world”… 2015: NASA-relevant Research Focus Areas Fellowship (with S. Sletten) “Relating Interpretations with Practice: A GIS-centered Analysis of Farmer Opinion on Climate Change in the Red River Valley of North Dakota, USA”

Phase 4 Compiled a research team Application Interview process Total of 4 undergraduate students Assisted students with IRB training

Phase 5 Explored definitions of climate change and formulated opinions Collecting literature from academic and popular presses Crash course in interviewing methods Assist in the design of the interview schedule Dry runs and loops

Let the fun begin 3/2016: First 2 interviews Collaborative listen-back Feedback discussions on process and data collected Currently at 6 (with goal of 15) Students setting up own appointments Students also responsible for transcription

Adding the geospatial Context will partially depend on quality/nature of qualitative data Limitations of GIS capabilities Some guided analyses Aerial photography/remotely-sensed images Students finding climate-related data sets Possible weighted modeling Situate qualitative data and identify spatial relationships

Summary MaSU now has a geospatial technologies learning progression All MaSU students work with remotely-sensed images and GoogleEarth Employing these technologies to explore real-world issues LP includes options for more advanced experiences in geospatial technologies

Summary Interviews with farmers have begun and students working with climate data Results to follow Goals of this research project Capstone projects, regional conference presentations, undergraduate publications??? Peer reviewed process-orientated research paper
