Accelerating the benefits from creative applications of geospatial technology in government, commerce, and the education community… Education and Training Scholarship Fund
To create opportunities for students and teachers to learn how to apply geospatial technology to help protect our home planet, to serve society’s needs, and to improve quality of life for all, IAGT has established an Education and Training Scholarship Fund. Your contribution supports IAGT-supervised student internships and helps provide critically needed scholarships to students and teachers participating in the annual Conference on Remote Sensing Education (CORSE) held each year at Cayuga Community College in Auburn, New York. Student Internships
An internship in IAGT’s Work Cooperative Program is a part-time paid position available to qualified students seeking to supplement their educational programs with practical work experience. Interns work side-by-side with geospatial technology professionals to help solve real world problems. Under IAGT staff supervision, interns provide technical support for IAGT’s projects by receiving training in and applying: Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Remote Sensing. Preference is given to internship applicants enrolled in the Geographic Information Systems associate’s degree program at Cayuga Community College for spring and fall semesters. During the summer months, in addition to Cayuga student candidates, internships may be awarded to high school through post-graduate level students enrolled in other educational institutions. Conference on Remote Sensing Education
Each year, IAGT and Cayuga Community College host the national
Conference on Remote Sensing Education or CORSE. Co-sponsors typically
include the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA),
the Mid-Hudson Service Learning Institute, and the State University
of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry located
in Syracuse, New York. CORSE is designed to promote the use of
geospatial technology in the classrooms of K-12 teachers as well
as two-year-college educators. With an attendance of 60-80 participants
each year, the conference provides hands-on experience involving
the use of global positioning system (GPS) equipment and ArcView
GIS software. CORSE strongly emphasizes a service learning approach
to education, Arrangements are in place for CORSE participants, should they choose, to receive either undergraduate credit through Cayuga Community College, or graduate credit through the State University of New York’s College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
