GEOTED-UAS

GeoTEd-UAS is supported by a National Science Foundation grant and administered by the Virginia Space Grant Consortium to develop curriculum and train community college educators in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and geospatial technology... In 1987, a joint congressional study panel met to address a number of issues facing the aerospace industry and the Nation, among them a looming shortage of workers prepared for a high tech workforce and a decline in scholastic achievement, especially in the disciplines of math and science. Congress was also concerned with building research infrastructure at our Nation's institutions of higher education. Congress passed legislation in 1988 which established the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program. The Virginia Space Grant Consortium received its designation from NASA in 1989.
