Talk Title: Engineering Aspects of Gis Education
Abstract: Engineering of education refers to scientific and technological aspects of education to support philosophical bases necessary to be used on didactics, curriculum structure in an effort to develop an educated character. Gis being a field with advanced scientific and technological bases, is used to support many and diverse applications of interdisciplinary nature. Education in such diverse applications must be at first place centered on promoting human values and on such bases proceed with the effort to develop a scientist, a professional and an educated character. Therefore, engineering procedures are adopted in terms of using mathematics as a tool to analyze structures and of using specifications for education planning. This is necessary to develop and use scientifically founded human value models and based on these models to proceed on didactics using scientific and technological tools in a way to create motives for the students, thus contributing to a balanced curriculum environment. This engineering structure and methodology of Gis education will be demonstrated as applied at the University of the Aegean, Greece, Department of the Environment.
Biography: Received his MSCE (1976) and Ph.D. (1989) degrees from the University of Washington (research assistantship fellow), Department of Civil Engineering and his diploma in Rural and Surveying Engineering from the Technical University of Athens (1971), awarded the Crysovergion prize award as ranking the first among the graduates.
