Abstract: Discussions about GIS Education should not only include methodological and technological aspects, they have to focus on content. Nowadays, there seems to be a trend from ‘Big GIS’, as built and used by large organizations, to ‘Small GI’ enterprises selling small pieces of information to individuals. GIS Education needs to adapt to this trend by extending its content to include legal and business aspects regarding geographic data. A GIS Education model based on three pillars, Geo, Info, and Business, is therefore proposed. It is further argued that curricula have to move from a GI Science perspective to a GI Engineering approach in order to satisfy industrial demands for the required skills of graduates.
