-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to the field of physical geography, including the spatial study of the Earth systems in relation to weather, climate, landforms, vegetation and plant distribution, soils, and human interaction with these systems. (4 contact hours: 2 lecture, 2 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines world regions and their environmental, cultural, social, geopolitical, and economic processes. It views regions and places within the broader context of world change and the interface between globalization and local places. The course is organized around regional themes and students will study all major regions of the world.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to map interpretation and analysis, including earth coordinate systems, map projections, scale, topographic mapping, thematic mapping, spatial analysis methods, and mapping accuracy and error assessment. Students will learn and apply fundamental geographic information systems functions to the interpretation and analysis of maps. (4 contact hours: 2 lecture, 2 lab)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the theory and practice of geographic information science through computer-based processing tools, including geographic information systems (GIS). Students will study fundamentals of GIS components, spatial data models, map production, integration of coordinate systems, digital data sources, spatial database functions, terrain analysis, spatial analysis, and data quality. Applications include land use planning, landform assessment, environmental management, site analysis, and demographic mapping. (4 contact hours: 2 lecture, 2 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the environmental, cultural, social, geopolitical, and economic processes that characterize North America. Students will study regions and places within the US and Canada from a spatial viewpoint that emphasizes location, distribution, and relationships between society and environment. (3 contact hours)
-
0.00 - 2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG 2800 This course focuses on applied aspects of geospatial technology as related to the mapping of land resources. Applications include spatial data management, environmental mapping, and the use of remotely sensed imagery through a project designed to develop a GIS data system for a land management area. (3 contact hours: 1 lecture, 2 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
This specialized course provides a study of the economic implications of the natural environment. Students will examine geo-economic topics through case studies related to agriculture, forestry, mining, and manufacturing. The course includes current information relating to geo-economic conditions in Ohio and the greater Cleveland metropolitan area. (3 contact hours)
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on global patterns of culture, with attention to the spatial aspects of culture and the relationship between culture and environment. Themes include cultural landscapes and geographic patterns of population, religion, language, ethnicity, world development, agriculture, geopolitics, and urbanization. (3 contact hours)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG 2700, ITDB 1400, MATH 1550; or permission of instructor or department chair This course addresses spatial applications and modeling in GIS. Students will gain experience in the use of buffering, overlay, spatial operators, Boolean search operators, programming, surface modeling, address matching, spatial modeling, and network and routing applications. (4.5 contact hours: 1.5 lecture, 3 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ITIS 1005 or permission of the instructor of department chair This course introduces students to concepts of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and computer cartography for thematic map production. Projects provide a foundation in the application of computer-based systems in map creation, design, and spacial data management. Because of the similarities in course content, students who have previously taken CIVT 2010 Introduction to GIS will not receive credit for both CIVT 2010 and this course. (4 contact hours: 2 lecture, 2 lab)
