Introduction to the fundamentals of Geospatial Technology, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GNSS/GPS), cartography, and remote sensing through a series of hands-on ArcGIS Desktop exercises. Students will learn how geospatial technology is used in business, industry and government. This course is designed to introduce the student to the basic principles and techniques of GIS. The lab material will emphasize GIS data collection, entry, storage, analysis, and output using ArcGIS software.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to problem-solving and decision-making using geospatial analysis techniques. Students will learn to effectively solve spatial problems and make decisions by working with a variety of data and methods using the spatial analysis tools in ArcGIS software.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed for students interested in gaining an understanding of the geologic history of Southwestern Wyoming. Students will study basic geologic principles and apply them to the region as well as learn to interpret the geomorphology, rock formations, and fossils of the region utilizing the Scientific Method. Students will also gain an understanding of how Wyoming geology influences and is influenced by contemporary society. A local day field trip is a requirement for this course.

4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the scope of Geology, the concepts involved, the several branches of the science, and some of the economic and cultural aspects of the science. Emphasis is on the materials and processes that make and shape the Earth, and how those concepts are related to the Theory of Plate Tectonics. Students will learn to identify common minerals and rocks and explain their composition; learn about plate tectonics and use this theory to explain the origin of ocean basins, mountain chains, continents, earthquakes, volcanoes; and learn about the rock cycle, weathering of rocks, and formation of landforms (glaciers, river valleys, coastal features). Geology makes extensive use of the scientific method and hands-on learning. This course has a significant lab component that is designed to help students learn and understand concepts taught in class; hence the Scientific Method will be used in lab exercises.

4.00 Credits
Historical Geology is an introduction to the study of Earth, its origin, and the processes and events that have shaped it. The course covers major geological changes in Earth history in chronological order, and the relationship between geology and the evolution of life on this planet. A significant portion of the lab section of this course will be the identification of fossils from major time periods of Earth's history in order to demonstrate evolution over time at the macro level. This course will make extensive use of the scientific method and hands-on learning. Local field trips may be required.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introduction to the systematic study of rock-forming minerals. This course will include the study of crystallography, crystal chemistry, and mineral identification.
