SUNNYVALE, Calif. and
COLLEGE STATION, Texas,
Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Texas A&M University has received a gift from Trimble
(NASDAQ: TRMB) to establish a state-of-the-art Trimble Technology
Lab in the College of Geosciences. The Lab will provide an
integrated field and classroom experience that will empower
geospatial education at the University.
Using Trimble hardware and software, the Technology Lab will
incorporate field-based data collection, modeling and analysis
capabilities that will provide students hands-on experience with
solutions that they can use in future internships and full-time
jobs. It also will provide faculty and student researchers with
innovative teaching and practical application tools and enhance the
geospatial capacities of university-wide operations. The gift also
enables Texas A&M to integrate
across its curricula Trimble's solutions that are rapidly
transforming how scientists study the Earth and address some of the
most challenging issues such as natural resource security,
sustainability, mitigating the impact of natural disasters, and
environmental resilience.
The Trimble Technology Lab will benefit students in the College
of Geosciences, which includes a unique combination of social
science and STEM disciplines spanning the Departments of
Atmospheric Sciences, Geography, Geology & Geophysics and
Oceanography as well as the interdisciplinary undergraduate
Environmental Programs, and the graduate Water Management and
Hydrological Sciences Programs. Through the Trimble Technology Lab,
students, faculty and researchers will gain cutting-edge geospatial
training and experience with Trimble's laser scanning, mobile
mapping, interior mapping, Building Information Models (BIM), 3D
design and GNSS tools with the accompanying comprehensive suite of
analysis solutions.
"Trimble is very excited to be working with Texas A&M. We believe the Technology Lab will
be a catalyst to help fuel research and training activities in the
Geosciences and related fields to advance the University's mission
of transforming students into tomorrow's global leaders,
successful entrepreneurs and industry innovators," said
Ronald Bisio, senior vice president,
Trimble Geospatial.
"The new Trimble Technology Lab at Texas
A&M University is not only dramatically changing the
geospatial learning environment, it's empowering cutting-edge data
acquisition and analysis to address the most pressing challenges in
the geosciences and beyond. I have no doubt that our collaboration
with Trimble will establish Texas A&M University as the
most spatially-enabled geosciences college in the U.S.,"
said Debbie Thomas, dean of the
College of Geosciences.
The lab will include a broad range of Trimble's industry-leading
hardware and software solutions such as the Trimble®
GNSS survey receivers, Trimble Total Stations, handheld 3D
scanners, Trimble T10 rugged tablets as well as advanced software
such as Trimble Access, Trimble Field
Link, RealWorks® scanning software, Trimble
Business Center with UAS Master, Penmap, eCognition,
Tekla® Structures, Tekla Structural Designer,
Tekla Tedds, Trimble
Connect and the company's popular 3D modeling software,
SketchUp Pro.
