The primary mission of the proposed graduate certificate in Remote Sensing and Earth Image Processing is to equip students to meet the needs of society by working in the rapidly developing remote sensing industry. With this certificate, we intend to provide advanced and up-to-date training for students currently working in this field who would like to enhance their skills in this area and acquire the latest knowledge in remote sensing technology. Some of the potential students may be those who would like to enter this field of work, and may have some prior training, but do not yet have an in-depth educational background, training and skills. In other words, this certificate will help to “re-train” the workforce to meet the new challenges in the area of Remote Sensing/Earth Observing, and to prepare the population for the job market in this area.
