Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are such systems that provide instructions to usersof the learning system with little to no intervention from the instructor. The major goal of all ITSis to supplement or replace a human tutor’s interaction with the student, sharing theresponsibility with instructors for the type of modeling, coaching and scaffolding needed forguided learning. Typically, ITS systems seek to identify a student’s strengths and weaknesses,offering help where needed either during questioning or after. Popular ITS systems such asAutotutor (S. D’mello and A.

Fewer technicianswere needed in the office for drafting and computations and the typical field crew was nowreduced to two people. Although there was less need for entry level labor on surveying fieldcrews, an inexperienced and minimally proficient surveying student or recent graduate was still avaluable member of a surveying crew, so long as the other crew member was well experiencedand skilled.But the pace of change in surveying technology has increased rapidly in the last 20 years and iscontinuing to

It does notdiscuss individual programs, though it does offer some suggestions for finding them.Rather, it concentrates on finding out about funding opportunities and building a personalnetwork to enable oneself to compete effectively for them.The first step in getting funded is to come up with an idea. The next step is to find anagency that is interested in the area. Then the researcher must make a credible case that(s)he can make a contribution in the area. Sometimes this is through a single-investigatorproposal, but more and more frequently, it is as a member of a team. In the latter case,networking is crucial.2.
