  • GISC 1760: Introduction to GIS

    4.00 Credits
    Saint Paul College

    This course introduces students to fundamental and applied concepts in geographic information systems. Students will become intimately familiar with the use of rasters and vectors in a digital computer environment and learn how to use specialized GIS software (ESRI's ArcGIS suite of products) to import, display, create, manipulate, and analyze digital spatial data. The ultimate goal of this course is to teach students to become effective GIS practitioners that understand the theory related to GIS and appreciate the limitations and strengths of GIS. 4C/4/0/0

  • GISC 1765: Cartography

    3.00 Credits
    Saint Paul College

    This course introduces students to the art and science of making maps. Students will examine concepts related to scale, map projections, shape, proportion, color, human cognition of space, and the spatial arrangement of information in maps. The ultimate goal of this course is to teach students how to effectively convey a message with a map that contains subjectively selected features representing a simplified version of the outside world. 3C/3/0/0

  • GISC 1770: Spatial Thinking

    3.00 Credits
    Saint Paul College

    Students taking this course will receive a broad introduction to the discipline of geography and use it as a building block for learning how to conceptualize spatial information in landscape space. They will use key spatial indicators such as proximity, shape, density, position, gradient, juxtaposition, and others in evaluating landscape-scale phenomena. The diverse cultural and biophysical landscapes of Minnesota will serve as the backdrop for developing and applying these principles. 3C/3/0/0

  • GISC 1775: Introduction to Remote Sensing

    4.00 Credits
    Saint Paul College

    This course introduces students to fundamental and applied concepts in remote sensing. Students will be exposed to a detailed review of the electromagnetic spectrum, atmospheric windows, passive and active sensors, digital image processing techniques (including geometric and radiometric corrections), and image classification methods, among other topics. The ultimate goal of this course is to teach students to become adept at locating and properly processing remotely sensed data so that it is useful in a GIS computing environment while developing a good understand of remote sensing theory and the limitations and strengths of remote sensing. 4C/4/0/0

  • GISC 1780: Spatial Analysis

    3.00 Credits
    Saint Paul College

    This course introduces students to more rigorous GIS techniques for using customized spatial analyses to investigate and enhance digital spatial data in a GIS environment. The true power of GIS involves the ability to spatially adjust, extend, modify, and integrate digital spatial data (both rasters and vectors). The ultimate goal of this course is to teach students how to apply conceptual skills acquired in the spatial thinking course to digital spatial data in a GIS. Students will use extensions (especially 30 Analyst and Spatial Analyst) and customized toolboxes in ESRI's ArcGIS suite of software to conduct the analysis. 3C/3/0/0
