• W2992340954 abstract "INTRODUCTION Immediately after its founding in 2008, the National Geospatial Technology Center (GeoTech Center) undertook a baseline assessment of the state of geospatial education and training at U.S. community and technical colleges. Fittingly, the assessment relied on geographic information systems (GIS) technology. The baseline assessment will be used subsequently to assess the Center's impact on the spatial distribution of geospatial education and training at two-year community and technical colleges. Previous research suggests that geospatial firms and related businesses tend to locate near institutions with geospatial higher-education programs (Thrall and Campins 2005). Thus, the spatial distribution of geospatial education and training at two-year colleges should both reflect and influence patterns of geospatial workforce demand. The National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technology Education (ATE) program created the GeoTech Center to coordinate a national strategy to increase the capacity of community and technical colleges to provide geospatial education and training. To date, no known research has used GIS to evaluate ATE centers in regard to their responses to, and impacts on, the spatial distribution of workforce demand. This research aims to help fill that gap. METHODS AND FINDINGS For this paper, we define geospatial technology as geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and remote sensing, because these technologies are the foci of the GeoTech Center's project proposal. Recent job analyses performed by the Center indicate that GIS technicians' duties involve all three mapping technologies (Johnson 2010). Related NSF ATE projects (e.g., iGETT--Integrated Geospatial Education and Technological Training) confirm an increasing convergence of GIS, GPS, and remote sensing in technicians' work roles. In the fall of 2008, the GeoTech Center began to compile a list of the nation's community and technical colleges. Using a variety of sources from the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) and Esri's Educational Customer Database and ArcGIS geocoding service, the Center identified and located 1,184 community and technical colleges. Center staff and student workers then assigned each college to one of five classes according to the level of geospatial education and training offered. The five levels included: 1. No geospatial courses 2. Geospatial courses (but not certificates or degrees) 3. Geospatial certificate programs 4. Geospatial degree programs 5. Both certificate and degree programs The numbers of colleges by class appear in Table 1. Classified college locations are mapped in Figure 1. Figure 1 reveals the spatial distribution of geospatial education and training at U.S. community and technical colleges. Of the 451 colleges with geospatial offerings in 2009, 164 (36 percent) offered certificate and/or degree programs. To validate the classification, GIS students at Lake Land College checked each college's Web site for information about its geospatial offerings in the fall of 2008. In addition, the GeoTech Center staff added faculty contact information, including instructor names, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, and host departments. The Center subsequently deployed the database as an interactive Web-based map viewer. This tool, available at http://geotechcenter.org, provides educators, administrators, and current and prospective students with an unprecedented geographic perspective on the landscape of geospatial education and training at U.S. community and technical colleges. [FIGURE 1 OMITTED] One of the selection criteria for GeoTech Center project partners was to reflect the geographic distribution of geospatial education and training at two-year colleges nationwide. An intended outcome of our database development, classification, and mapping effort was to produce a baseline inventory of each partner's nearest neighbor institutions, as well as rates of adoption of geospatial education and training within each partner's neighborhood. …" @default.
