Remy Autz: Currently leading the Geospatial Technology for Environmental Sciences Program at Phoenix College. We prepare our students for positions where they will use computers to manipulate geographic information and images gained through remote sensing. Our four courses introduce mapping and remote sensing concepts, ArcView 9.1, image analysis, surface analysis, 3D analysis, and network analysis. In their final course, students complete an independent campus project.

Retired from the City of Phoenix in 2006. I supported the Urban Planning effort with research and GIS for 17 years. I worked socio-demographic and land use. Estimating and projecting population for the Phoenix area was part of my job. During the last 5 years, I maintained GIS datasets for school locations, attendance areas, and district boundaries within the City of Phoenix. Worked for Phelps-Dodge. I planned work for the Mechanical-Electrical Shops at the Morenci Branch for 2 years.

While serving in the Army and Air Force reserve components for 21 years, I worked in administrative, logistic, transportation, and fuel supply specialties. On active duty, 1966-1975, I was responsible for leading and supporting small unit infantry operations in Viet Nam, Panama, and Korea.

Formal Education. Received a Master of Science in Urban Planning from the University of Arizona in 1977.
