This $679,505 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to advance geospatial workforce preparation at Monroe Community College (MCC) in Rochester, NY. The project will integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud-based skills into MCC's geospatial information science and technology (GIST) curriculum across five credit-bearing courses. It will also provide research opportunities and hybrid internships for 24 students to further develop these advanced GIST skills. The project intends to showcase how traditionally hands-on GIST instruction can be adapted for an immersive online environment, and will leverage GIST alumni to improve student retention, provide career guidance, and support the hybrid internships. The overarching goal is to strengthen GIST curriculum and prepare students for the growing workforce demand for GIST technicians with AI and cloud-based skills across various industries. The award period runs from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028.
