One of CARS missions is to equip groups and invididuals to broaden their knowledge of Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing. CARS not only supports the Department of Geography in offering such courses, but also have hosted and participated in many events to introduce geospatial techonogies to greater audience including elementary and high school students, industries and government agencies. For custormers who are interested in spefic training, we provide customized workshops for research, businesses and industries.
