9 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 141Introduction to Geospatial Technology 3:2:3
Introduces students to the fundamentals of Geospatial Technology including concepts and use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a brief overview to the use of Global Positioning Systems (GNSS/GPS), cartography and visualization, remote sensing, and spatial analysis through use of professional grade GIS software exercises. Students are taught how geospatial technology is used in business, industry and government. A course fee is required. (S&BS)
GIS 141HHonors Introduction to Geospatial Technology 3:2:3
Introduces students to the fundamentals of Geospatial Technology including concepts and use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a brief overview to the use of Global Positioning Systems (GNSS/GPS), cartography and visualization, remote sensing, and spatial analysis through use of professional grade GIS software exercises. Students are taught how geospatial technology is used in business, industry and government. Using a seminar or discussion-based approach, this course encourages independent, creative and critical inquiry and prepares students for the practical application of information by emphasizing effective research strategies and technologies congruent with the field of study. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: Completion of all developmental reading and writing courses required as a result of the College Testing and Placement program. (S&BS)
Provides students with theory and hands-on experience in customizing geographic information system (GIS) software applications by way of modified service interface elements. This course discusses the theory and implementation of the various scripting languages currently in use within the industry. Students are able to apply the theory to solve geospatial problems and streamline GIS workflows through the creation and modification of scripts. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: GIS 141 with a grade of C or higher.
Covers the professional practice of geospatial technology. Topics include history, scope, and trends in geospatial technology, professional ethics and expectations, career options, team participation, and professional communications. (FYS)
Applies the fundamental concepts of cartographic design. This course allows students to utilize design principles to create and edit effective visual representations of data (e.g. maps, graphs and diagrams) in different formats (e.g. hardcopy, digital, web). Specific topics include the ethical and 302
Presents remote sensing techniques to the study of the Earth’s landscape. This course discusses the physical principles on which remote sensing is based, as well as its history and future trends, sensors and their characteristics, image data sources and image classification, and interpretation and analysis techniques. Students are able to perform remote sensing workflows, such as change detection and image processing. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: GIS 141 with a grade of C or higher; or permission of the Instructor.
Instructs students how to build, configure, and share web mapping applications. Students are taught how to integrate desktop, cloud, and mobile geographic information system (GIS) applications, as well as be exposed to various web GIS deployment models. A course fee is required. Pre/Co-requisite: GIS 141 with a grade of C or higher.

Provides students with the opportunity to gain work experience through working a minimum of 225 hours in a supervised setting. In this environment, students are exposed to the same procedural, professional, and ethical issues faced by geospatial technicians on the job. Each internship experience is tailored to the student’s major and/or interests and is overseen by either the faculty or internship supervisor. Students are required to present a summary of their experiences. Enrollment is restricted to students in the Geospatial Technology AS program. Prerequisite: GIS 141 with a grade of C or higher.
