Offers suggestions and techniques for taking picutres so that students can view them and discover common characteristics for themselves, review for tests, and prepare for lab work. (LS)

A close range photogrammetry (CRP) technician training program was developed at Miami-Dade Community College and used to teach the technology to 16 students. Although the results of the study show that it is possible to teach CRP in a two-year program, the technology is too new in the United States to support a sustaining educational program. The…
