Practice prompts based on occupational tasks

These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for remote sensing technicians. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.

  1. 1. Collect geospatial data, using technologies such as aerial photography, light and radio wave detection systems, digital satellites, or thermal energy systems.

    Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?

  2. 2. Verify integrity and accuracy of data contained in remote sensing image analysis systems.

    How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.

  3. 3. Integrate remotely sensed data with other geospatial data.

    What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.

  4. 4. Consult with remote sensing scientists, surveyors, cartographers, or engineers to determine project needs.

    Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?

  5. 5. Adjust remotely sensed images for optimum presentation by using software to select image displays, define image set categories, or choose processing routines.

    How would you handle an unfamiliar part of this task? Identify what you would need to learn.

  6. 6. Manipulate raw data to enhance interpretation, either on the ground or during remote sensing flights.

    What evidence would show this task was completed successfully?
