The Department of Geography and Planning at Appalachian State University        has begun the implementation of a plan for improved instruction in the          area of computer assisted cartography.  The equipment requested for this        project in needed for the next phase in the evolution of its                    instructional capabilities in computer mapping technology.  Students            will work on projects in which they will generate digit files of                geographic entities of varying size and scale; produce high quality             choropleth and overlay maps of large data bases using commercially              available map bases; generate maps at different scales; combine maps of         different scales on a single page; change perspectives of computer              generated maps; and use geographic information system analysis                  techniques.  Students will also receive experience with a large format          digitizing tablet and multi-pen/multi-color plotter which is standard in        public and private agencies which employ geographers, planners,                 draftsmen, designers and other scientists who work with spatial                 information.  This project is responsive both to trends in the                  discipline and advances in the available technology.
