Geospatial Technology is a rapidly expanding field that covers the management and analysis of spatial data from many sources, such as satellites, airborne remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), surveying, and more. It has many applications in the sciences, engineering, business, planning, and transportation. Other science and engineering majors may purse a Minor in Geospatial Technology by completing eighteen (18) credit hours of courses, including GEOL 416/416L/516/516L , GEOL 417/517 , GEOL 419/519 , GEOL 420/520 . Six additional credits taken from any of the groups below complete the minor. Up to three credits of a senior capstone, research, or design project with a significant proportion of geospatial content may be substituted for one elective, with permission of the program director, Dr. Maribeth Price.
