Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Geography

Description:

This course is an introduction to advanced conceptual and technical problems associated with developing and working with relational databases, cartographic modeling techniques using vector and raster GIS software tools. The lab sections offer an opportunity to gain hands on experience using a leading commercial GIS to complete a series of real-world tasks. The lab and lecture are one and the same, and each week will consist of a presentation of concepts and background followed by a lab involving hands on GIS analysis. The last third of the course will consist of individual GIS application projects. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate their technical knowledge and skills in the common tasks that geographic analysts face in applying a GIS to a variety of spatial problems and/or research questions. 2. Construct maps that can be shared with non-GIS users. 3. Demonstrate proficiency in the use of GIS tools to conduct spatial analyses and build maps that are fit-for-purpose and effectively convey the information they are intended to. 4. Formulate new analyses (unfamiliar to you) using GIS, troubleshooting problems in GIS, and seeking help from the GIS community to solve your problems. Prerequisites: GEOG 3600 and GEOG 3605 (Both Grade C or higher). Course fee required. FA
