Student Projects
As of July, 2010 we signed a Microsoft Academic Alliance Agreement, Version Designer AA, to give the students use of a variety of free software. The agreement allows us to give students copies of a variety of these developer and designer tools. These include: Visual Studio, student choice of Operating systems (Windows 7 Pro, Vista), Visio and Project (for Gantt charts and timelines), Expression (competitor to Adobe).
It should be noted that ESRI Canada already supplies our Fleming GIS/GMT students with free demo software at the ArcInfo level. Also, AutoDesk gives our students access to a free download of Autocad Map 3D 2012 and next year we also expect PCI Geomatica (Canadian remote sensing software vendor) to supply our students with free demo software. Oracle while not technically Open Source is a free download for educational purposes. This access to industry standard software is a huge benefit to our students.
Fleming College is well-recognized for preparing students and professionals for successful careers in geomatics. Fleming College students produce outstanding projects. Here are just a few of the unique and innovative applications created to illustrate the breadth of their highly marketable new skills acquired at Fleming:

This project features an impressive interactive application detailing the history of the logging trade in Algonquin Park. The maps depict and analyze a particular global destination and an inherent issue specific to that area. The details in these works demonstrate a myriad of skills, and each map illustrates the diverse application of cartography and GIS.
