3 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 111Introduction to GIS3
This course introduces the hardware and software components of a Geographic Information System and reviews GIS applications. Topics include data structures and basic functions methods of data capture and sources of data and the nature and characteristics of spatial data and objects. Upon completion students should be able to identify GIS hardware components typical operations products/applications and differences between database models and between raster and vector systems.
This course introduces coordinate systems fundamentals of surveying and cartography. Topics include the theory acquisition and use of locational data using both continuous and discrete georeferencing methods. Upon completion students should be able to identify appropriate coordinate systems for a situation and translate data into correct map form.
This course introduces the fundamental concepts of primary GIS data creation. Topics include the collection of field data digital conversion of existing hardcopy maps and the construction of spatial data from known geodetic locations. Upon completion students should be able to demonstrate an ability to collect create and process spatial data within a variety of environments.
