Research topics are studied within the context of team-based projects that support GIS analysis for community partners. Practices a problem solving approach that emphasizes the importance of communication within teams and between students and community partners. Students meet with partners at critical stages of the project, set project goals and objectives, present project results, and self-assess the strengths and weaknesses of the development process as well as the overall results.
