Teaching
CEO Personnel provide several courses and workshops to the NC State community. These include: remote sensing theory and applications, introductory and advanced Geographic Information Science (GIS), digital image processing, the Global Positioning System (GPS), and aerial photography and photogrammetry. The following is a list of courses taught out of CEO.
FOR 353 / 353L Air Photo Interpretation and Photogrammetry
Instructor: Dr. Siamak Khorram
3 credits, Fall, Prerequisite: MA 114
Theory, principals, and techniques of utilizing air photos for inventory and management of renewable resources, photogrammetric and engineering applications, hydrologic and terrain analysis, and land use/cover mapping. Introduction to remote sensing and use of color infrared, thermal, and Landsat imagery in resource management. The associated lab provides hands-on training in photogrammetric techniques.FOR 510 Introduction to GPS
Instructor: Dr. Heather Cheshire
1 credit, Fall and Spring, One-third semester mini-course.
Introduction to collection and use of mapping grade global positioning satellite systems data. Includes review of cartographic properties, mission planning, hands-on collection of GPS points, lines, and areas, differential correction, editing, and exporting GPS files to a GISFOR 554 Principles of Spatial Analysis
Instructor: Dr. Heather Cheshire
3 Credits, Fall
Principles and techniques for utilizing spatial information in natural resource inventory and analysis. Interpretation of conventional aerial photographs, principles of photogrammetry, sources of spatial data layers, and introductions to non-photographic remote sensing and digital photogrammetry.FOR 753 / 753L Environmental Remote Sensing
Instructor: Dr. Siamak Khorram
3 Credits, Fall of alternate years (2000,2002, etc.), Prerequisite: FOR 353
Principles and applications of remote sensing technology to earth resources and environmental studies. Electromagnetic energy, data acquisition platforms, sensors and scanners, processing of digital remotely sensed data, error analysis and accuracy assessment, and integration of remotely sensed data with other data types used in natural resource management. The associated lab provides hands-on image processing training using the ERDAS Imagine software package. Course web pagePRT 462 Introduction to Geographic Information Systems
Instructor: Dr. Hugh Devine

Instructor: Dr. Hugh Devine
3 Credits, Spring, Prerequisite: PRT 563
Operation and management issues related to GIS use in natural resource organizations. Issues in proposing and implementing GIS through case study analyses and experimental project planning including social and legal impacts, cost and benefit assessments, institutional constraints to implementation, benchmarks, proposal development, education concerns, and planning for technological advances.PRT 764 Advanced Study In Geographic Information Systems
Instructor: Dr. Hugh Devine
3 Credits, Spring of alternate years, Prerequisite: PRT 563
Research and application activities in GIS Individualized study of a major topic related to student's primary field of study of these topics utilizing GIS capabilities with special emphasis on complex spatial analyses. Projects must benefit significantly from use of GIS methods. Development of sophisticated skills, approaches and strategies directly relevant to their field. Oral presentations and written report required.Remote Sensing Fundamentals and Applications
Instructor: Dr. Siamak Khorram
This course is taught out of the Satellite Applications Deptartment of the International Space University (ISU) for the Summer Session programs and also in the Master of Space Studies Program at ISU.
WorkshopsIntroduction to ArcView 3.2 for the PC: National Park Service GIS Workshop
This is a three day workshop with the objective of teaching NPS personnel the functionality of ArcView GIS Version 3.0. Several ArcView workshops have been done around the country for the National Park Service numbering four or five per year for the last two years. The dates for individual workshops vary. Previous workshop locations include: Assateague Island NS, Maryland (Assateague Island NS Resource Management); Bozeman, Montana (Yellowstone NP); Raleigh, North Carolina (NPs Southeast Regional Workshop); Madison, Wisconsin (NPs Midwest Regional Workshop); Olympia, Washington (NPs Pacific Northwest Workshop).Accuracy Assessment of Change Detection from Remotely Sensed Images
This series of four workshops, chaired by Dr. Khorram, were held for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to coincide with CEO's completion of the accuracy assessment of the NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (CCAP) for coastal NC. Contributing to the workshops were remote sensing notaries such as: Greg Biging, Nicholas Chrisman, David Colby, Russ Congalton, Jerry Dobson, Randy Ferguson, Mike Goodchild, John Jensen, and Tom Mace.Forestry Eduational Outreach Program Workshops
CEO personnnel conduct periodic workshops in "Introductory Applied Field Courses in GPS and GIS for Foresters" for the Forestry Educational Outreach Program at NC State.
