FIRE PROTECTION
TECHNOLOGY
Requirements
Fire continues to be a problem in the United States even though the loss of lives
is declining due to new, innovative public education programs, rigorous enforcement
of building and fire code enforcement and the application of advanced technology
related to fire detection and suppression systems. However, with the loss
of civilian lives ranging from 4,050 to 4,440 each year and property loss continuing
to escalate, the need for well-educated fire fighters becomes more important
as community resources are reallocated.
The Fire Protection Technology certificate will assist the student in acquiring the
knowledge and skills necessary to function effectively as a fire protection specialist.

GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
SCIENCES AND
CARTOGRAPHY
Robert B. Kent, Ph.D., Department Chair
Requirements
The geographic information sciences (GISci) encompass a variety of powerful new
tools that greatly improve our ability to collect, store, manage, analyze, and utilize
information regarding the features of the Earth's surface and to combine these
with other types of economic, social, and environmental information. Included
among these are geographic information systems (GIS), cartography, and satellitebased
remote sensing. Professionals with proficiency in these concepts and
methods are increasingly in demand in both the public and private sectors.
This program of professional and scientific education is intended to enhance abilities
in data handling, analysis and graphic communication of simple and complex
geographic data and information. The program is not limited to geography majors.
It is designed to introduce GISci concepts and methods to students from a wide
spectrum of disciplines. These courses provide for specialized study in the rapidly
changing and significant area of GISci and cartography.
