Description/Abstract
Undergraduate students are discovering that conducting research provides a deeper understanding of the scientific method as they formulate research questions and test hypotheses. Research encourages the development of collaborative leadership and teamwork skills as students communicate their ideas and learn to analyze and critique the work of others. Among the most effective tools leading this research revolution is Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS is a highly effective information and communication technology due to its power to graphically convey knowledge through the universal language of maps. This program discusses GIS applications within the realm of undergraduate research.
