This presentation will provide an in-depth overview of projects completed by Pikes Peak Community College Geographic Information Systems Interns in support of the Air Force GeoBase program and the 21st Space Wing GeoBase office. The Pikes Peak Community College GIS Program offers students the opportunity to learn GIS technology while acquiring either a one-year GIS Certificate or an advanced two-year AAS Degree in GIS. Both programs employ industry-standard software and technology along with an internship to prepare you for a career in a number of major GIS industries. The GeoBase program ensures the provision of and access to common, accurate and current geospatial information for all Air Force installations, ranges and property. The Pikes Peak Interns have directly supported Common Installation Picture and Mission Data Sets production at five 21st Space Wing geographically-separated units. Additionally, they’ve provided feature dataset production for Facility Asbestos Testing, Confined Spaces Program, Roofing Management, Project Management, Area Development, Pedestrian Accessibility and Pavements Linear Segmentation. This presentation will highlight the accomplishments of the Pikes Peak Community College Geographic Information Systems Internship at Peterson AFB.

4. 21st Space Wing GeoBase Program/Pikes Peak Community College GIS Interns
Garnered over 1800 hours of support to update Geographically-Separated Units Common
Installation Picture and Infrastructure data elements now represented on the 21
Space Wing geospatial data enterprise, their efforts accounted for a 50% increase
in geospatial data elements that ensured higher compliance ratings.
