AIPG-TX

Matthew R. Cowan, P.G., District IV Representative to the AIPG Texas Section Board, spoke last night to the Houston Geological Society’s Environmental and Engineering Group about proposed changes to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills guide. He noticed that there were a few critical changes that the general public and specifically the geological community, should be aware of that affect the middle-school (6-8 grades) TEKS on topographic maps, and High School Courses with regards to fossil significance, etc.  These areas are fundamental components of Earth Science (Geology).

We have just been made aware of the proposed changes. Comments are due by the end of day of Friday, December 16, 2016.
