How Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Improve STEM Learning OutcomesDr. William Montgomery, Chair, Geosciences/Geography Department Tuesday, April 15, 2008 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM Center for Teaching and Learning Vodra Hall Room 143 To enroll email: Elizabeth Silvas (esilvas1@njcu.edu) or call extension 2116
Faculty will learn how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) based experiential learning can be incorporated into courses spanning diverse disciplines including criminal justice, fire science, business, health science, nursing, and environmental science.
Faculty will learn that student self-assessments show significant improvement in science, technology, engineering and math proficiency (STEM) areas such as technology, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning even in non STEM disciplines. Graphic Information System technology has many uses and this presentation will be of value to all faculty. GIS technology can be used for environmental impact studies, urban planning, history, sales, marketing, criminology, cartography, criminal investigations, resource management, and asset management. GIS can be used to find wetlands that need protection from pollution or used by a company to site a new business to take advantage of a previously underserved market. |
