GeoTEd-UAS?<\/h3><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As the integration and combination of geospatial technology and small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) into nearly every employment sector increases, the demand for skilled technicians to support the multitude of applications is expanding. sUAS and the ability to collect and analyze high-resolution geospatial data on demand are poised to transform businesses, impact safety and security, improve health, and reshape the economy.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>sUAS\u2014one of the disruptive technologies of our time\u2014will transform our daily lives over the next few decades as profoundly as the smartphone and the only way to realize the full potential is to grow the industry\u2019s current and future workforce.<\/p><p>The <strong>Improving Pathways into the Geospatial and Unmanned Aircraft Systems Technician Workforce\u00a0 (GeoTEd-UAS)<\/strong> project team includes the Virginia Space Grant Consortium (VSGC), Germanna Community College, Virginia Tech, and the Virginia Community College System (VCCS).<\/p><p>Administered by the VSGC, the GeoTEd-UAS team was awarded a project grant by the National Science Foundation\u2019s Advanced Technological Education (NSF-ATE) program (NSF #2000715).<\/p><p>GeoTEd-UAS will prepare students for success as sUAS operations technicians (sUAS-OT) and as geospatial technicians. Small UAS-OT duties typically include planning and flying sUAS missions, maintaining sUAS, and processing geospatial data to analyze and solve problems.<\/p><p>Entry-level technician positions in geospatial technology generally include job titles such as geographic information systems (GIS) technician, survey and mapping technician, GIS specialist, spatial data technician, and other similar titles. These positions are broadly responsible for developing, creating, and maintaining spatial information layers stored in a GIS. With the emergence of sUAS and their ability to collect geospatial data of many types, the use of sUAS has become a critical data acquisition tool for GT technicians.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4052\" aria-expanded=\"false\">About<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4052\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4052\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row section vc_row-fluid \"><div class=\" full_section_inner clearfix\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><strong>Improving Pathways into the Geospatial and Unmanned Aircraft Systems Technician Workforce (GeoTEd-UAS)<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pl-278\" class=\"panel-layout\"><div id=\"pg-278-0\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\"><div id=\"pgc-278-0-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-mobile-last\" data-weight=\"0.66819571865443\"><div id=\"panel-278-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"0\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\"><div class=\"textwidget\"><p><i>Improving Pathways into the Geospatial and Unmanned Aircraft Systems Technician Workforce (<\/i>GeoTEd-UAS) is supported by a National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education (NSF-ATE) (NSF #2000715) grant to develop and implement academic courses and pathways to prepare the geospatial technology and small UAS operations technician (sUAS-OT) workforce.<\/p><p>The mission of the GeoTEd-UAS project is to build community college and educator capacity to prepare the geospatial technology and sUAS-OT workforce by integrating workforce-aligned curriculum, faculty professional development, faculty and student service learning projects, and student internships and other real-world experiences.<\/p><p><strong>The GeoTEd-UAS project has three major components:<\/strong><\/p><ol><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Develop employer-aligned geospatial technology and sUAS courses and pathways at Germanna Community College, emphasizing the integration of student service-learning projects and internships.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Educate and actively mentor community college faculty and educators to build leadership, knowledge, and ability to offer geospatial technology and sUAS content, courses, and student service-learning experiences.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Increase the number and diversity of participants in the geospatial technology and sUAS-OT workforce pipeline.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row section vc_row-fluid \"><div class=\" full_section_inner clearfix\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4053\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Student Outreach<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4053\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4053\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h4>Teacher Professional Development and Student Outreach in sUAS and Geospatial Technology<\/h4><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>To increase and diversify the geospatial technology and UAS workforce, it is critical to develop student interest early in their academic career.
