SJSU offers a Masters in Urban Planing degree with a certification in
Transportation Management.

Although you will use all of your electives in completing the classes needed for
Transportation management, you can still pickup course work in GIS through the
Urban Planing department or the Geography department.

The Geography Department also offers certification in "Geographic Information
Systems".

Now, if you want both certifications, you will need to talk to the department
Chair.  His name is Dr. Rothblatt.

There you may consider constructing your own Master's degree.  A Hybrid of
transportation Mgmt and GIS Mgmt.

Well, there you have it.

Signed, your last true friend, Henderson Ford.

Hi, guys,
well first lemme apologize for dropping in yr e-group. well, actually
i'm an architect and have completed masters level course in urban
planning. i'm from India and have been working with an urban planning
consultancy firm for last two years. the job has been really exciting
experience and i had an opportunity to explore various aspects of
planning including GIS. being inclined towards new technologies and
having an analytical bent of mind, i would like to pursue a short-
term or grad/masters level course in role of Information technology
in urban planning. now, i have no clue wheather this kind of programs
r offered or not but i'm essentially looking for gaining knowledge in
the fields of technologic applications in urban and transportation
planning (GIS can be one of them).
please lemme know if any of u is aware about such program. thanks a
lot and apologies again for the unsolicited entry.

To downtown residents interested in urban design,
and the new urban planning/SJSU egroup members - I know you'll find this
interesting. Freedman is a dynamic speaker. He designed Mtn. View's Castro
st., turning downtown into a hotspot from a dead zone. He has a lot to say.
See you a week from Sunday.
Irv
P.S. I'll be the one passing out the "Worried about Housing? Vote No on
Meausure A!" flier prior to the meeting.

Hi all,
The Urban Planning Coalition will be having its first get together of the
semester on Thursday, October 19, in the Urban & Regional Planning
Department Office - Washington Sq. Hall, #218, 5-7PM.
The time slot is between the URBP 200 and 201 classes, so students may
filter in and out.
No agenda (OK, I have a few things to spring on attendees after we've gotten
to know one another) other than meeting and mingling with students and
faculty.

Hope to see you there!

Irvin Dawid/UPC chair

Hi y'all.

In anwer to Rhys' question, I am now working for the California
Coastal Commission, the state agency charged with implementing the
1976 Coastal Act. (Some of you might be familiar with the Commission
through the Environmental Law course, especially from the Nolan case.)

The Commission employs a number of planners throughout the state and
they are currently hiring in several districts. However, to interview
for a position, you must first pass two qualifying examinations: a
written test and an oral test. It's a rather long process, but once
you're on the list, you qualify to apply for a variety of positions
throughout the state that are categorized as Coastal Program Analyst.
The Commission's headquaters office is in downtown San Francisco (at
the Embarcadero BART stop). The district offices are located in
Eureka, Santa Cruz, Ventura, Long Beach, and San Deigo.

The next written exam will be offered the week of November 13th, but
you need to submit an application by October 23rd to be included in
this round of exams. You can download the forms you need from the
Commission's web site at www.coastal.ca.gov (click on "examinations
and employment announcements" from the left column).

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in
environmental issues and coastal management. Some background in
marine science or biology can be helpful, but it is not mandatory.
You will want to read the Coastal Act before taking the exams.

In addition, various departments often need interns. Please give me a
call if you are interested or have questions about applying for jobs
at the Commission.

Cheers,
Susan Swift
415.904.2335

P.S. Please encourage your classmates to join this group and to post
any job or internship announcements here!

Hi Susan and alums and classmates,
Thanks for the introduction.
Before planning get-togethers, I still need to get the Urban Planning
Coalition registered on campus as a current organization (it's lapsed since
last year).
I need the name, address, phone,student ID #, and e-mail of one more officer
the UPC elected last semester for this semester; then that person,and Kelly
Vasquez and I will determine  the 'purpose' of the UPC which will be placed
in the Student Orgaization Directory.

Susan, hope you report back on the APA/Long Beach? meeting.
Regards to all,
Irv

Susan,
   An update on what I know of from people from SJSU.  Carmella and I are
both currently working full time at the County of Santa Clara in Current
Planning.  Terrance and T Tran are at the Redevelopment Agnecy of SJ.
Rachna is working for Current Planning at the City of SJ.  Diana Castillo is
not working within our field yet.  Trisha Meyer is working for the City of
Pleasanton.

The others from our class I am uncertain of.  Where are you working and what
are you working on?

I am not yet a member of the APA and will not be attending the conference.

At the County, I am working on database documentation and evaluation in
addition to current planning issues.  In addition, I am working part-time
for the City of SJ in their Parks Department, known as PRNS (Parks,
Recreaction and Neighborhood Services).  In that unit I am helping them set
up their data and GIS for determination of how they are meeting their LOS
objectives for park acreage per population (3.5 acres/1000 persons) and all
parks within 3/4 mile distance of a park site.  This job is more advance
planning.  I was also involved with their Parks Master Plan process.

I had a nice experience at the City of Cupertino finally end this summer.  I
created alot of their GIS resources Zoning and GP Land Use Maps and
processed many current planning applications there before PC and CC.

Nice to hear from you and do let me know what you are up to and others as
well that you know of.  Thank you for setting up this venue for
communication.  Best wishes to you!       Rhys

Hello!

I think the SJSU fall semester is well underway as we now have a
number of current students enrolled in this egroup. For those who
don't know, the new Urban Planning Coalition president is Irvin
Dawid. I expect we will be receiving announcements from him on
occasion (I'm looking forward to hearing about the next UPC holiday
party). Remember, though, any member can post messages to this group.

I am curious to know what joint SJSU - neighborhood planning
activities are underway. Please let us know when there are
opportunities for alums to volunteer for workshops or to attend
presentations.

If you're wondering where some of the alums have ended up, you're not
alone. Rhys, what are you up to these days? And does anyone know
where Carmela Campbell is working?

That's enough from me. I look forward to hearing from you! Please
encourage current and former SJSU MURPs to join and use this forum
share their news and announcements.  --Susan

P.S. Is anyone attending the Cal APA conference this weekend? I will
be there, so please say hello if you happen to see me or my name tag.

I received this e-mail earlier this week (July 24, 2000). --ses
