Undergraduate
students wanted!
We are seeking energetic, independent, responsible students to
join this project as undergraduate students.
Strong
language skills in Spanish is a plus; the culmination of
these undergraduate programs will involve work in Ecuador,
El Salvador, Guatemala or Nicaragua.
This project features two different programs for
undergraduate students:
1.
Aqua Terra Tech “Enterprise” project in Boaco, Nicaragua.
MTU created the Enterprise Program to allow students a unique
curriculum path for developing and practicing technical and business
skills in a multidisciplinary setting where an emphasis is placed
on projects and business. The Boaco project focuses on water treatment,
water supply engineering, watershed resource protection, and development
of new sources of clean water. The project uses a combination
of ground-based geophysical exploration, satellite-based GPS and
land cover analysis, and field engineering.

2. The Remote Sensing Minor program. This program
begins with basic theory and applications of remote sensing, followed
by opportunities to specialize in Data and Signal Processing,
Data Management, Applications and Special Research Projects. A
new aspect of the minor program involves more focused training,
specifically in support of the natural science agencies and observatories
of Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua. This training
culminates in field study in one of these countries, in order
to help develop and apply practical applications of remote sensing.
