C.T. Male was founded by Charles T. Male, a man whose personal intersts and talents included music, mathematics, engineering, politics, teaching, and community service. He was born in Schenectady, NY in 1889 and received bachelor's and master's degrees in engineering from Union College in 1913 and 1914 respectively. In 1910, while still and undergraduate, Charles Male founded the consulting engineering firm that still bears his name and continues his legacy of ingenuity, professional integrity and outstanding community involvement.

Today C.T. Male has approximately 150+ employees and offers services in the fields of Engineering, Building Systems, Environmental and Land Information Services (including GIS). Headquartered in Latham, New York, C.T. Male has additional offices in Gloversville and Syracuse, New york.

The firm's staff is organized by work groups, consisting of Engineers, Architects, Landscape Architects, Surveyors, Scientists, Technicians, and support personnel. Each group is directed by a group manager selected on the basis of technical expertise, experience and administrative ability. Our professional staff combines a wide range of academic wisdom, technical knowledge and project experience to offer comprehensive interdisciplinary services. And this is how we see GIS- as an integral part of Engineering Services.

We see GIS as a Problem Solver, greatly enhanced by our access to interdisciplinary expertise. GIS is basically a tool to map, analyze and manage spatial data. As the data itself has meaning beyond its geography, our day to day access to those who develop and work with the information encourages us to think laterally. We can use GIS as it was intended- to solve practical problems efficiently. This is full value GIS.

Leica Geosystems, Inc. is the new name for a collection of famous names in the survey instrumentation business, including Wild, Wild Heerbrugg and Kern. Starting in 1987, Leica established a close business relationship with Magnavox commercial GPS and later acquired that company in 1994. Magnavox was one of the pioneers in satellite positioning starting in 1968 with the Transit satellite navigator system. In 1989 Leica developed the FARA technique for solving interger ambiguities and thereby set an industry standard for rapid static GPS surveying. In 1995 Leica System300 was the first to successfully complete FGCS testing of real time kinematic (RTK) GPS surveying. During the last ten years Leica has led the industry in innovative product design of GPS receivers and sophisticated processing software.

Leica Geosystems has introduced a new sub-meter GPS receiver designed especially for the GIS professional GS50. Some of the important features of the new GS50 include:

• A comprehensive thematic data format readily compatible with the world’s most popular GIS format ESRI Shapefiles
• Two-way attribute dataflow- a first in the industry- is possible via the internal native ESRI Shapefile data format (no need to translate!)
• Leica’s powerful ClearTrak GPS technology provides the most precise code-based GPS measurements in the industry,
• Common platform easily upgradable to Leica’s System500 GPS survey-grade receivers, including the SR530 dual-frequency RTK receiver.
  This provides an opportunity to do cm-level data-collection for GIS!
• GIS DataPro Windows-based office processing software is based on Leica’s SKI-Pro GPS survey software
• GIS DataPro is included with each GS50. It lets you plan your field work and define dictionary or codelist, export to ESRI ArcInfo/ArcView, AutoCad DWG, MapInfo and MicroStation DGN; import RINEX2 from NGS CORS sites, etc.
• GS50 is a 12 channel L-1 receiver, carrier-phase smoothed C/A code
• Equipped with a combined RTCM/GPS antenna for Coast Guard Beacon, or separate GPS and DGPS antennae; OmniStar satellite also available
• Power supply is two (2) camcorder NiMH rechargeable batteries
• Ergonomic handheld data collector terminal has full QWERTY keyboard; 12-lines/32 character illuminated display, Windows-style operation with user-definable function (f) keys
• Compatible with all GPS industry standard formats: RTCM 2.0…2.2, RINEX, NMEA, etc.
• Removable PCMCIA memory cards with up to 85MmB storage capacity

The Spatial Information Technology Center, or SITC, is a joint effort between NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi and Fulton-Montgomery Community College. The Center began offering credit courses to the public in September 2000.

With a large demand for skilled workers, the field of Spatial Information Technology offers a bright forecast for those who wish to pursue a career in technology.

FMCC offers a Spatial Information Technology Certificate and an Associates of Science degree program. While the certificate provides a 30 credit hour professional and technical education foundation, the 67 credit hour degree is designed to help students jump-start active careers in spatial information management or serve as a foundation for bachelor or graduate degrees. Each program involves the disciplines of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Remote Sensing and Cartography.

The Center introduces students to the basic philosophy that Spatial Information Systems deal with geographical information, or data, such as where something is located, where it comes from, or how it fits together with other geographic data. Geographic Information Systems allow us to conduct spatial analysis in ways that are expanding daily.

SITC emphasizes that spatial analysis is an essential process used in decision making for business, industry and government. The diversity of applications is highlighted throughout the program.

Issues unique to upstate New York, or those having a global impact, are examined and analyzed. Career paths and opportunities are presented with an eye to a rapidly expanding field.
