  • 4.00 Credits

    This course covers the fundamentals of GIS theory and application. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how geographic features are represented, captured, and stored as digital data, and how that data may be analyzed and mapped using state-of-the-art GIS tools. Lab projects will develop hands-on expertise with industry standard software. Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in GIST 111 and COSC 125. Semester Offered: Spring.
  • 4.00 Credits

    The basic principles, functions, and origins of maps will be discussed. This course introduces coordinate systems, fundamentals of surveying, and cartography. Topics include the theory, acquisition, and use of location data using both continuous and discrete geo-referencing methods.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course builds on the knowledge and skills developed in GIS I. This course provides more detailed instruction on the theories and procedures associated with the implementation of GIS projects, their management, and their completion. Emphasis will be placed on indepth spatial analysis and applications of GIS in a wide variety of fields. Research, analysis, and GIS methods will be covered in lecture through case studies and real-world examples. Hands-on expertise will be further developed.
