Abstract
To continue expanding an academic pathway and project in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) within an Information Technology (IT) framework that includes environmental hazards and disasters risk reduction and public interest orientation. In GISEC 2 (PITUN 2, period 2021), we have expanded the College Credit Certificate in GIS Technology by adding a high school Dual Enrollment articulation. This CCC is a stackable component of an Associate in Sciences Degree in Computer Information Technology (AS in CIT). Students can also continue their studies at Miami Dade College to obtain a Bachelor of Sciences in Computer Information Technology at Miami Dade College. In phase 2, we have also continued the faculty development process. In addition, we have succeeded in continuing and expanding the platform for project learning and research for environmental hazard modeling and awareness that supports institutional building. One of the most significant achievements of GISEC2 has been the increment of the cooperation with the local governments, Offices of Resilience of Miami Dade County, and the cities of Miami and Miami Beach, and with the University of Miami and Miami International University. In addition, we have maintained a cooperation relationship with Miami Dade Public Schools, with regular meetings with faculty and teachers, to facilitate the dual enrollment process. In 2021, we have also increased cooperation with other PITUN members: CUNY -College of Staten Island, and University of Michigan, Institute of Transportation. (More details are included in this document). We have also incremented the risk assessment of vulnerable areas of Miami Dade.
