国际学生入学条件
B.S. to Ph.D. -
A B.S. degree in engineering or in a science related to engineering from an accredited college or university or the foreign equivalent of an accredited American BS or MS degree in engineering. Non-engineers with degrees in related fields may be considered for admission after certain prerequisite courses are completed. A list of pre-requisites and leveling courses can be found on the Information for Non-Engineers page. Applicants with non-science bachelor's degrees in fields such as technology, management, business, and the arts must obtain an accredited engineering degree before applying.
Complete application & payment of application fee ($25 domestic/$75 international) must be completed via the online application found at How to Apply to UH Graduate School.
A minimum grade point average (GPA) of ''B'', i.e., 3.0 on a 4.0 scale on the last 60 hours of course work attempted.
Satisfactory scores on the General Aptitude test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). The Quantitative + Verbal scores combined should be at least 1100 using the prior GRE scale (Verbal minimum is 450 and Quantitative minimum is 650) or 301 using the current GRE scale (Verbal minimum is 150 and Quantitative minimum is 151), however, this does not guarantee admission.
M.S. to Ph.D. -
Met the requirements listed above for BS to PhD
Completed an MS degree with thesis in Chemical, Environmental, or Civil Engineering with an Environmental emphasis with a GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale from an ABET- accredited engineering program or a foreign equivalent thereof. A copy of the title page, signature page, and thesis abstract, as well as excellent letters of reference from faculty familiar with the research, must be submitted with the application.
The minimum TOEFL score required is 79 for the internet-based test.
TOEFL PBT - An overall score of 550 or higher.
The minimum TOEFL score for the new revised paper-based exam is: Reading 20, Listening 20, and Writing 20.
The minimum IELTS score required is an overall score of a 6.5.

课程简介
Geosensing systems engineering and sciences is an interdisciplinary program focusing on the use of airborne mapping to meet the needs of private industry, government agencies and academic institutions. Graduate students will be trained to use a tool called LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging. With LiDAR, researchers fly a plane over an area they want to map, shooting hundreds of thousands of laser bursts per second at the ground. How that light returns to its source can be used to create extremely detailed topographical maps, even through dense vegetation and murky water. The maps produced from UH LiDAR data have supported hundreds of research projects for both private and government agencies. These maps have helped locate an ancient civilization in the Honduran rainforest, identify levees in danger of failing, chart land erosion following hurricanes, create flood maps for urban areas, find near-drought conditions in seemingly healthy plants, map the sea floor, chart areas prone to landslides and identify how the presence of life impacts geographical features. <br><br>The geosensing systems engineering and sciences program is the only graduate program of its kind in the world As the geospatial technology sector continues to grow, so does the demand for scientists who are trained to use technologies such as LiDAR. The graduate program in geosensing systems engineering at UH was established in direct response to industry workforce needs, and students are expected to prepare proposals for private and government agencies for financial support of their own research projects. Graduate students in the program have the advantage of working with and being taught by the world's leading experts on airborne laser mapping through the UH National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM). NCALM is funded by the National Science Foundation and is jointly operated with the University of California, Berkeley.<br><br>The Ph.D. degree requires 54 credit hours of approved study beyond the M.S. degree. These requirements translate to a minimum of 18 credit hours of organized course work (six 3-credit non-research courses) beyond the Master's Degree plus 36 hours of Ph.D. research, dissertation and unrestricted electives. After 100 hours, the student is no longer eligible for the lower, Texas-Resident Tuition.
