Covering, p-median, p-center and hierarchical models and their applications; data accuracy, aggregation and distance problems in location-allocation modeling. Prerequisite(s): CSCE 1010 or consent of department.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. (Regional Science) Designed to encourage an awareness of the need for wise use and proper management of the natural resources on which human welfare depends; how resources management operates in the framework of laws and policies, technical resource knowledge, education, and economics.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. (1;0;2*) *These hours are combined lab and lecture.Introduces the concepts and applications of computer-based spatial data handling, known as geographic information systems (GIS) technology. Illustrates the essential methods of GIS and its applications in fields including geography, business, administration, planning and environmental science. Students gain application skills via a series of practical exercises illustrating problem solving strategies using up-to-date GIS software packages. Prerequisite(s): consent of department.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. (1;0;2*) *These hours are combined lab and lecture.Step-by-step approach to spatial data integration and analysis, and cartographic presentation. Topics include data models and structures, map algebra, surface analysis, 3-dimensional rendering, network analysis, sharing and distributing maps, and design and implementation of a GIS project in an area pertinent to the student's interests. Prerequisite(s): GEOG 4500 or consent of department.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. (1;0;2*) *These hours are combined lab and lecture. Advanced spatial analysis through the use of specialized software and the design and development of spatial databases and applications. The course includes project planning, database development, data manipulation and analysis, model building, internet mapping, and other advanced topics in spatial analysis. Students gain advanced application skills through practical exercises and implementation of a GIS project in an area pertinent to the student's interests. Prerequisite(s): GEOG 4520 or consent of department.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. (1;0;2*) *These hours are combined lab and lecture. Modern GIS embraces the concept of open systems, which means GIS software can be customized to fit specific requirements of individual implementation environments. To meet the high demand of this kind, this course introduces basic concepts and skills of object-oriented programming and GIS customization. Students gain programming skills in accessing maps, data layers, features and geometric objects through laboratory exercises. Prerequisite(s): GEOG 4500 or consent of department.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. (2;1) Current topics and techniques in geographic information systems to complement core course work. Examples include multiuser geospatial data management, web-based map delivery, GIS programming, spatial statistics, applications for specific careers fields and other topics. Course content reflects recent trends in GIS research and the job market. Topics vary by semester. Prerequisite(s): GEOG 4550 or departmental consent. May be repeated for credit.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours. (Earth Science) Examines the role of rivers as geomorphologic agents. Includes discussion of the systems approach to fluvial geomorphology, fluid mechanics of open-channel flow, sediment and solute transport, channel morphology and river adjustments to environmental change at various time scales. Prerequisite(s): GEOL 1610 or GEOG 1710 or consent of department.
