Vision

• Demonstrate the power of geospatial technology by example – The GeoTech Center will use geospatial technology to visualize and analyze data about community college geospatial programs and the impact of the activities from the GeoTech Center using an online, interactive map.▫Community College Programs▫GeoTech Center Project Impact▫University Program Map▫ATE Center Project Maps

Map Information How Data Were Developed

• Data Layers Developed ▫ ATE Centers▫ ATE Projects▫ Community Colleges

(Classifed by how GST is offered, if at all, at the college)

Degree-Certificate, Degree, Certificate, Classes, None

Faculty Name (contact information i.e., e-mail and phone)

▫ Metropolitan Areas (rural vs. urban comparison)

▫ Congressional Districts ▫ Counties▫ States

• GIS work-study students from LLC’s GIS program researched and developed the community college layer

• Brooke Ferguson, LLC’s GIS Specialist, integrated the layers into a common geodatabase

College Program Research Database -Regional Patterns Associated to Closest Partner

Using thiessen polygons to assign each college to closest GeoTech Partner

Using the Program Research Database to findRegional Patterns

• The following table profiles how GST is offered at CCs in different regions of the country around GeoTech Partner

• Analysis - the West region is the most mature based on the fact it’s the only region with a higher frequency of colleges that have some GST versus none.

Using the Program Map Research Database inArcGIS Business Analyst

• Top five clusters of colleges with no geospatial programs.

• Use to target colleges and partners in need of mentoring

Using the Program Map Research Database inArcGIS Business Analyst

• Location of College with Certificate or Degree (N=165) in relation to Metro Areas

• Suggests only 41 of the 165 colleges having Certificates or Degrees are located outside of Metro Areas

• Suggest geospatial education not developed at community colleges serving rural areas

Anticipated Impact

• Increase or elevate user interest in GeoTech Website

• Link existing NSF-ATE user community together through mapping other high profile STEM areas

• Demonstrate the use of geospatial analysis in evaluating project impact, evaluation and outreach

• Identify colleges needing mentoring or support• Can this data be used to be generate revenue?
