  3. Recommendations • a Land Development emphasis in CE • development of a UG program within IDE or MDE • participation in a university level GI*Science initiative • a collaborative program, possibly administered through a new inter-college Division, like DEEE • The new program should have both under & grad

  4. Geospatial Sci. & Eng. Task Force • Formed by Randy Woodson, Jan. 20, 2010 • Group: 11 faculty from campus • Motivation: • DP as a successful model for inter-discip. research • lack of model for inter-discip. educational program • Use Geospatial Science & Eng. as a test case
