-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
For students who wish to study special problems. This course may be taken four times with different content for a maximum of six units.
-
1.50 Credits
This course covers the fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for fire fighters, using spatial information and software to map and analyze information associated with fire planning. Labs include hands-on experience with ArcGIS software in the subject areas of map making; scanning, georeferencing, and digitizing fire pre-plans; GIS data creation and management, and working with geoprocessing tools. This course provides the skills and knowledge to create basic spatial data and GIS maps, particularly with reference to fire pre-plans. Students also learn basic GIS skills, a foundation for further study in GIS or to pursue a GIS degree or certificate.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a survey course designed to provide an introductory overview of geographic information systems (GIS), cartography, remote sensing, spatial analysis, and global positioning systems (GPS). Students will learn how these critical technologies are used in addressing human and environmental problems. The lectures and lab exercises will provide an introductory knowledge of GIS including map interpretation, georeferencing, and spatial data management. Topics will include how to use spatial data to visualize information and identify spatial patterns. Topics include basic GIS concepts such as query and map overlay.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the origins and fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), an essential tool in government and business. GIS uses spatial information and software to map, analyze, and model real world problems, in many fields such as forestry, homeland security, economics, cartography, city planning, and health. Labs include hands-on experience with ArcGIS software. Subjects are map making, GIS data creation and management, and map projections and coordinate systems. GIS mapping is a skill needed by many who work in both the public and private sector. This course will provide the skills and knowledge to create basic spatial data and GIS maps. It also lays the foundation for students who want to be employed as a GIS Technician or who want to pursue a degree or certificate and it prepares students for entry-level careers. This course is required for the GIS certificate and the AS degree.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed for students who possess a basic background in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Learning in this course focuses on cartographic principles of map design, production, and evaluation through the application of hands-on activities using ArcGIS software. Topics covered include data acquisition methods used in map production (Global Positioning Systems/GPS, scanning, and georeferencing of data); spatial analysis techniques (using geoprocessing); and GIS project planning techniques. Cartographic tools and enhancements such as map layout, symbology, and labeling are emphasized. Students will apply project management skills to a class project.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a general survey of geographic information systems (GIS) concepts and spatial analysis techniques, particularly for raster data. Emphasis is placed on hands-on exercises using GIS software and on the functionality of GIS as an effective tool for modeling and analyzing complex spatial relationships. This course is intended for students earning a certificate or degree in GIS and/or for GIS professionals who wish to gain more experience with spatial analysis and raster data.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to advanced topics, techniques, and applications of geographic information systems (GIS). Emphasis is placed on using advanced GIS software for advanced spatial analysis, visualization and statistics. Students use real-world data and apply one or more advanced applications to class project analyses to evaluate the effectiveness of GIS as a tool in the decision making process. Students gain a knowledge of, and experience in using, advanced software applications. More advanced class projects may incorporate scripting and/or modeling. This course is intended for students who have achieved an intermediate level of knowledge and experience in GIS.
-
3.00 Credits
GISG 114 focuses on the development and application of spatial database models and processing techniques. Students of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) who wish to gain exposure to emerging data structures and methods via problem-based learning benefit from this course. The course deals with conceptual issues in spatial database development, analysis, display, and designing and creating personal geodatabases. Students work with a variety of GIS data types and edit GIS data within the geodatabase environment, with emphasis on real-world applications. The class project focuses on the design, creation and use of a geodatabase to solve a problem.
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the basics of remote sensing, characteristics of remote sensors, and remote sensing applications in academic disciplines and professional industries. Emphasis is placed on image acquisition and data collection in the electromagnetic spectrum and data set manipulations. This course is designed for geographic information systems (GIS) students interested in imagery analysis.
-
3.50 Credits
This course introduces students to concepts related to processing, analysis, enhancement, correction, and interpretation of remotely sensed images. Emphasis is placed on photogrammetry, image acquisition, information extraction, scientific visualization and practical applications for geospatial professionals. This course is designed for geographic information systems (GIS) students interested in analysis of remotely sensed images.
