There is a need and benefit of integration of geospatial education and with design technology which shall benefit not only to design technology but also to geospatial technology. There has been efforts towards using geospatial data for city planning, 3D modelling, building design, architecture which has been very helpful for creating awareness about utility of geospatial in these vertical industries. Specially last few years, has been very useful in terms of projecting geospatial to these disciplines. The trend of integrating geospatial with design technology is getting further interest in manufacturing, machinery, plant and so on.
All the above would be successful only if we introduce the required integration of geospatial technology with design concepts at educational institutions level. Understaing the same at Geospatial World Forum we are organizing an 'Integrated Design Education Forum' wherein the educators, administrators, industry and users from different disciplines will be invited to discuss, deliberate on prospects and challenges of introducing and integrating Geospatial and other courses related with design technology. Participants would discuss and work out recommendations which we can use for consideration at highest levels with education authorities in different countries of Asia.
