Thirteen (13) graduate students from several Departments of UPRM successfully finished the course Geol 6225 (Advanced Geological Remote Sensing) during fall of 2007. This is the highest number of students that have taken this course since it was created, and it is also considered a large number for any graduate course at UPRM. The course was taken by 9 females and 4 males from Geology, Civil Engineering, and Electrical and Computing Engineering Departments. Such event coincided with the change of the textbook used in the course. The students used for the first time the textbook entitled “Remote Sensing of the Environment” by John R. Jensen, edition of 2007; which has been fully updated and covers all the topics of the course. The success of this course is based on its applicability to diverse fields and how it is focused on learning the most advanced image processing techniques and tools.
