Project Overview

The AGET project will develop courses for an Associate of Science degree pathway in geospatial engineering technology (GET) and a certificate in land surveying, to be offered at the Gainesville Campus. In addition, funding from the AGET project will fund a walk-in open lab for student use in the Science Building Room 262.

Lab Hours

Fridays: 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Saturdays: 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Students use a geospatial surveying tool.

Geospatial Engineering Tutor Available

Looking for a geospatial engineering tutor experienced in 2000 level ENVE and GISC courses? Email tutor Stefen Gray for more information.

Project Goal

The goal of the project is to meet the demand for highly skilled and educated technicians in the burgeoning field of geospatial technology. Students enrolled in GET will be prepared for careers in fields such as land-use planning, flood-plain mapping, environmental protection, precision farming and national security.
