This request is for renewal of discipline specific software packages for the TAF-FUNDED instructional classroom KOM308. This request does not include support for research activities conducted at KOM101 (Geospatial Research Center, also referred to as “GIS Lab”) nor afterhours access to these software packages in BASS137. The two applications are “ArcGIS Professional” and “ERDAS IMAGINE”, both highly specialized and state-of-the-art Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software packages, designed for processing geospatial information. They are required for undergraduate and graduate education at MTSU. Current courses using these software packages include, undergraduate: GEOG4490, GEOG4530, GEOG 4560, GEOG 4570, and GEOG 4380 and graduate (Masters of Science in Professional Science concentration in Geosciences): GEOG5490, GEOG5530, GEOG5560, and GEOG5570. These courses use these software packages as support to consolidate theoretical concepts while at the same time preparing students to develop the required skills by the job market, increasing their chances of future professional placement. In addition to students seeking Geoscience major, these curses attract and serve students from a wide range of departments such as Biology, Anthropology, History, Environmental Sciences, Agriculture, Aerospace, and many others. Lack of these instructional applications will significantly impact the Department of Geosciences ability to attract and retain students as well as the quality of our program.
