Sci Tech University Builds GIS Software Intro for Civil Engineers
The National Science Foundation is giving the Missouri University of Science and Technology a $500,000 grant “to make Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software available to students in laboratory environments.”
Part of the grant has faculty members “designing a comprehensive learning system to introduce civil engineering students to the software.”
The news story from the school include the obligatory Google Earth quote:
“It’s like Google Earth only you can customize and analyze spatial data,” says Dr. Ronaldo Luna, associate professor of civil, architectural and environmental engineering at Missouri S&T.
