The Pro-MS Program Continues to Grow!
|
The Professional Masters Program in GIS/RS within the
Geology and Planetary Science Department continues to show strong improvement. The current
enrollment is four students (with four more expected) at the start of the sixth year of the program.
A total of 16 students have now successfully graduated the program and have moved on to careers in the
GIS and RS fields. The new students, together with the new computer laboratories, courses, and web pages
bodes very well for the future success of the Pro-M.S. degree program in GIS and Remote Sensing!

Ongoing Renovations to the Pro-MS Facilities!
|
The Geology Department and the College of Arts and Sciences have
completed the extensive renovations to computer teaching facilities central to the Pro-M.S. program.
Formerly chemistry laboratories, these rooms are now state of the art Windows and Unix based computing
facilities. The last phase of the renovations was completed during the 2006/2007 academic year and included
an upgrade of the Remote Sensing Laboratory's computers from Unix workstation to Windows XP systems. We are
looking for funding for the renovation of SRCC room 205 into a Pro-M.S. specific resource room!

Mr. Christopher Urik, a recent graduate of the Department's
Professional Science Masters Program, was featured in the Pitt Magazine. The story details
Chris's internship project, during which he created a GIS to track nesting Peregrine falcons at
the University. Such an approach could eventually be used to track other endangered species around
the world.
