2007 NSF National Visiting Committee (NVC) Final Report
The NVC conducts an onsite annual review of project-related activities and advises the project investigators.
The NVC Committee met with program-related faculty and staff of San Diego Mesa College, San Diego State University,
and three San Diego area high schools on April 16, 2007. Attending from the NVC were:
Ms. Ann Johnson, Chair, Dr. Karen Kemp, Dr. Arthur Getis, Dr. Joseph Kerski, and Mr. Warren Roberts.
After concluding the meeting and review, the NVC compiles a report of
their observations and recommendations.

San Diego Mesa College Curriculum Analysis
The National Research Council (NRC) and other government entities have recognized GIS, and its requisite spatial skill set as one of
the fastest growing segments of technology.(National Research Council, 2005) Additionally, the NRC and other leading advisory
bodies anticipate a severe labor shortfall of skilled workers with working knowledge of GIS and general spatial principles.(Sietzen,
June 2004) In anticipation of this, and to maintain a leading role for American workers in the 21st Century global workplace,
the NRC has recently issued strong recommendations for mandated spatial knowledge and skills education in K-12 schools.(National
Research Council, 2005) No doubt, this will have a profound impact on our educational system at the local, regional, and
national levels. Secondary school graduates, whose appetite will be whetted by their mandated training/instruction in, and
increasing exposure to, GIS and related technologies; in addition to growing industry demands, present a great challenge and
opportunity for educators and administrators in post-secondary educational programs. This document, along with the efforts
of the NSF-ATE researchers(NSF-ATE DUE #0401990, 2005), are directed towards addressing these critical needs.

2005 Summer Teacher Institute Survey Results
In the summer of 2005, San Diego City Schools held a summer teacher institute in order to present
problem-based learning activities to
San Diego City Schools high school teachers. We were invited to present GIS as a possible problem-based learning tool since
most data and analysis have some kind
of spatial/location component. At the conclusion of each of our presentations, we administered a survey to the teachers in
order to determine the frontline teachers' needs. The results of the survey indicated a great interest in geospatial technologies
to support education.
