Tiered Internship Model for Undergraduate Students in Geospatial Science and Technology
Kopteva, Irina A.; Arkowski, Donna; Craft, Elaine L.
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v39 n1 p34-43 2015
This article discusses the development, implementation, and evaluation of a tiered internship program for undergraduate students in geospatial science and technology (TIMSGeoTech). The internship program assists education programs in providing skill development that is relevant and useful, and it aligns graduates and their skills with industry needs, through internship experiences. The unique internship tiers clarify the United States Department of Labor's requirements on geospatial technician competencies and preparation. The vibrant internship process and its thorough evaluation improve the relevance of coursework to today's geospatial applications and competencies, student academic performance, student retention and graduation rates, and employer's satisfaction.
