Prerequisites: Students must qualify for ENGL 101 and MATH 012. This course introduces the basic principles of geographic analysis and map design using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) computer software. In this “hands-on” course, students will use GIS software to analyzenumerous types of spatial information to find solutions to environmental and societal problems. GIS datasets and maps will be created to do these analyses and present the results. Through this course, students have an opportunity to learn how mapping and GIS skills are used by different types of professionals, and to learn some of the skills required to become a GIS professional. 3 lecture hours.
