13 courses with the subject GIS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
GIS 101Foundations of GIS3
Fundamental concepts of spatial understanding and analysis for non-GIS majors. Introduces basic principles of GIS (Geographic Information Systems), RS (Remote Sensing), and GPS (Global Positioning System) and their applications in exploring and analyzing geospatial information. Students apply geographic information technologies to collect, manipulate, integrate, visualize, and analyze spatial data to generate information for solving complex problems. Hands-on lab training reinforces conceptual elements explained and discussed in lectures. (GE02), (NSCI)
Introductory course presents basic GIS theories and concepts. Fundamentals explored include a brief introduction to basic cartographic principles, data types, map scales, coordinate systems and projections. Hands-on training includes manipulating, analyzing, and creating maps using an industry-standard GIS system. (GE03), (SOCS)
Overview of theory and principles of remote sensing and aerial photogrammetry. Students learn how to use remotely sensed images in resource exploration and base mapping. Introduces fundamentals of photogrammetry, basic image interpretation, and classification techniques.
Recommended background: GIS 111. Part of a sequence of GIS courses; provides hands-on training in modeling and analysis of spatial data using a raster GIS. Offers an in-depth understanding of raster GIS capabilities and helps students apply GIS technologies more effectively in spatial analysis and modeling.
Recommended background: GIS 101 or GIS 111. Introduction to vector GIS, particularly ArcGIS. Functional and analytical capabilities of ArcGIS are introduced. Building on GIS 111 fundamentals, students learn data query, manipulation, integration, and analysis techniques in the vector domain. (GE03), (SOCS)
on advanced topics including planning, management, raster-vector integration, and data quality issues. Students learn how to do customization, spatial modeling, advanced editing and database query in an ArcGIS environment. Combines components of geographic information technologies from previous semesters.
Recommended background: GIS 205. Introduces basic structure and capabilities of object-oriented programming in a GIS environment. Students learn how to automate GIS operations and customize user interface using programming language available in ArcGIS.
Brief overview of geographic information technologies (GIT). Basic theories and principles of a particular aspect of GIT are discussed. Students gain hands-on experience in collecting, editing, and manipulating spatial or geographic data for viewing and analysis.
experience. Individual study and field experience applying GIS technology in a work place setting. Requires a minimum of six hours weekly at an internship site and a biweekly class meeting for a progress report. Requires a summary presentation and a journal of on-site activities.
