3.00 Credits
This exploratory course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of Geospatial Science and how Geospatial Technology (GST) is used to measure, imagine, study, and discover our complex and ever-changing human and natural world. You will learn the basic techniques of cartography (mapping), GPS (global positioning systems), GIS (Geographic Information Systems), spatial analysis, and remote sensing (drones and satellites).
-
3.00 Credits
Cartography and Map Design is an essential component of geospatial knowledge and skills and anchors all research, presentation, publication, decision-making, and output from Geospatial Technologies. This course will cover geovisualization topics such as map components, projections, symbols, scale, grid systems, direction, coordinates, distance, relief, color, patterns, and the map design process. You can expect to work with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), though no previous experience is necessary. After finishing this course, you'll be able to study, understand, analyze, interpret, and especially construct good maps.
-
1.00 Credits
This course introduces new and prospective Geography, Environment & Sustainability majors and minors to career opportunities, department faculty, options for major tracks, and real-world applications of geographic perspectives and techniques. When you finish this course, you will be able to identify a pathway through a major or minor and into a productive career.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
This summative course provides a structured work experience in a supervised setting under the direction of a geospatial employer mentor and the course instructor. The internship will give students invaluable experience with technical, professional, and ethical issues commonly faced by geospatial professionals in today's workforce. Each student will work with their supervisor/mentor and instructor to develop a set measurable Internship Learning Outcomes (ILOs) that will be used to evaluate performance and competence in a real-world job situation.
Prerequisite:
GEO 1720 and GEOG 2400
-
3.00 Credits
This capstone course provides a summative learning experience that is a culmination of a student's geospatial education. Students apply their knowledge and skills to develop, implement, and evaluate a geospatial project that simulates a workplace experience, including collaboration as part of a team when appropriate. Students and the instructor develop a set of measurable Capstone Learning Outcomes (CLOs) that will be used to evaluate performance and competence to complete a geospatial project from start to finish.
Prerequisite:
GEO 1720 and GEO 2200 and GEOG 2400
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Consult the semester class schedule for the current offering under this number. The specific title and credit authorized will appear on the student transcript.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Travel to explore nearby National and State Parks, and urban and rural lands to make observations, collect data, perform field-based research, and report on the experience.
