GSTC
17 courses with the subject GSTC, 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.
None Description: This course focuses on the concepts of Geospatial Technology, including topology, projections, data modeling and spatial operations managed by Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The course includes lectures on GIS concepts and usage as well as GIS exercises include data capture, storage, query, analysis, display and output using ArcGIS software. The course also introduces the student to other Geospatial Technology like Global Positioning systems and Remote Sensing. Limited to the Dual Enrollment student. Offered Summer semester, annually.
GSTC 140 Description: This course bridges the gap between the concepts and tools introduced in GSTC 140 and the more advanced functions of ArcGIS, including spatial operations and data modeling. The student integrates diverse datasets, creates methodologies for data conversion/migration, and develops guidelines for spatial data quality control. The course continues to build competency in alternative GIS software solutions including Open Source GIS. Advanced modules of ArcGIS, including Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst, are introduced. Offered Fall and Spring semester, annually.
GSTC 140 and GSTC 220 Description: Through the use of geospatial technology examples, current policies and spatial data/analysis management methods are explored. The student utilizes foundational knowledge and skills in geospatial technology to understand the impact and constraints required in both public and corporate policies and mangement. Knowledge of GIS is used to explore emerging public policy, management practices, professional standards, ethics, and future directions of geographic data. Offered Fall and Spring semester, annually.
GSTC 220 Description: This course focuses on critical evaluation of real-world case studies to determine the appropriate spatial data and advanced-level geospatial technology and tools to analyze, replicate and improve upon past solutions. The student works independently and in teams to develop and apply geospatial problem solving skills to a range of real-world scenarios. The growing requirement for the integration of GIS and 3-D data for use in terrain analysis, facilities management and emergency response is explored. Offered Fall and Spring semester, annually.
CISC 140 , ISIT 300 and GSTC 220 Description: This course introduces the student to basic topics in spatial web-based software design and creation. Building on skills acquired in
None Description: This course exposes the student to the application of geographic and geospatial technology knowledge in a field studies environment. Learning activities focus on regional and cultural geography, geomorphology, climatology and GPS/GIS field data collection. Exposure to different cultures and environments is intended to provide practical experience with global awareness and a broader, more external, understanding of informational literacy. Offered as needed.
None Description: This course covers emerging topics in geospatial technology. It is an in-depth study of a selected specialized area and the content varies by semester. Due to the nature of evolving topics, this course may not be eligible for repeat. Offered Spring semester, even-numbered years.
