Authors: Dave Skiles
Colorado Front Range Community College implemented the Geospatial Technical Competency Model (GTCM) in seven GIS courses for the school career technical education GIS certificate program. The presentation paper reviews how the GTCM was implemented in the curriculum. Courses considered are Introduction to GIS, Intermediate GIS, Database Management, GIS Projects, Spatial Data Analysis/Modeling, Remote Sensing and GIS Internet Services Applications. The GTCM has assisted recognition of curriculum, quality of instruction, uniformity of learning experience, and employment market receptivity.
