The internship program that I am doing is for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as a GIS Analyst and Archaeologist. The way I plan to earn this credit is by creating an archaeological geodatabase for the Planning and Environmental Division. Create maps for different divisions and/or projects within the USACE, Mobile District. Create maps for reports and letters for the division. Do GIS analysis of LiDAR data and coastal flooding for the division. Lastly, conduct remote sensing for projects requiring quantifiable impacts analysis.
The GIS user group I chose was GIS Association of Alabama (GISAA). This group is a non-profit group that covers the whole state of Alabama. The focus is on geospatial professionals within the private and public sectors. The reason I have chosen this group is because the region I mostly focus on for my work is the state of Alabama. It seems they are able to connect a lot of different professionals together and look at different ways to use GIS data. Membership is Individual - Professional Membership - $50.00 (USD) and Individual - Student Membership - $10.00 (USD) for one year.
