University of North Alabama Department of Geography GeoINT Workshop 2013

8 Professors –5 GISP Specialists –Physical Geography –Biogeography –Urban Planning –Climatology –Cartography –Economic Geography –GIS –Remote Sensing Faculty

Students (our focus) –~150 Undergraduate Majors –~20 Graduate Students Three Options for Geography Majors –Geographic Information Science –Business Geography –General Geography Geography Minor Certificate in Geographic Information Systems M.S. in Geospatial Science Curriculum

Courses Traditional Geography Coursework Geographic Information Systems Image Interpretation Remote Sensing (with Image Processing) Applied Geospatial Analysis (Advanced GIS) Cartography Special Topics (e.g., Quantitative Methods, GIS Programming) Geopolitics Regional Geography (e.g., Middle East) Co-op/Intern Program

Philosophy Spatial thinking and reasoning Asking spatial questions Geospatial technology is a tool used to address these questions You cannot learn GIS without DOING GIS! Students: –Learn to Think –Learn to Adapt –Learn to Learn Writing and Presenting Results

Where: t=time f=frustration h= the zone of near-homicidal rage Frequency and amplitude of oscillations dependent on the job/tasks This curve is variable in terms of timing and actual shape… however, observation and experience suggest it is fairly accurate overall.

What we provide: Well trained graduates (B.S. and M.S. degrees) Thinkers/problems solvers NOT ‘button mashers’ Research expertise creating geospatial solutions
