15 courses with the subject GEOG, 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.
A scientific and spatial understanding of natural processes that shape the surface of our planet and the systems that exist between the atmosphere, climate, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere within the context of the human environment.
World Geography studies how culture, power, economies, and environments influence regions and people’s lives. Students explore historical and modern issues, including identity, geopolitics, development, trade, resources, and environmental change, focusing on spatial thinking and regional comparisons to understand global and local interactions.
This course introduces the study of how humans interact with Earth’s surface, covering spatial patterns, perceptions, and transformations. Students use concepts like scale and diffusion to analyze society, cultural and economic systems, and environmental impacts. The course highlights geographic inquiry tools such as mapping, data visualization, and geospatial technologies to examine real-world problems.
Students will be introduced to the process and energy sources that produce natural disasters, along with the spatial distribution and patterns of natural phenomena, while developing an understanding of the impact these phenomena have on human activity.
Social and environmental changes are occurring at alarming rates. Geographic data and mapping technology has revolutionized how we identify, quantify, analyze, interpret, and communicate change. Applying mapping technology has become an essential decision-making skill set in visualizing data, understanding and explaining complex situations, and communicating shared meaning.
This course develops core principles and practical skills for designing clear, accurate, and ethical visual representations of spatial information. Students learn to apply map scale, choose appropriate map projections, perform feature generalization, and create effective symbolization to produce maps, graphs, and diagrams for print, digital, and web delivery.
The course addresses the interpretation and understanding of various data formats available in GIS. It introduces the fundamental concepts of primary GIS data creation and discusses quantitative techniques for collecting, classifying, and managing geographical data. It is recommended that students take GEOG 2500 in the same semester as this course.
Introduces students to geographic information systems (GIS) for scientific analysis and decision-making. Topics include datums, coordinate systems and projections, vector and raster data, data acquisition and uncertainty, geodatabases, cartography, data sources, geocoding, geoprocessing, and related legal, economic, and ethical issues.
The course will prepare students for the FAA Part 107 Aeronautical Knowledge Test to become a commercially licensed drone pilot. The course will focus on drone laws and FAA regulations, weather and micrometeorology, National Airspace Systems (NAS), drone flight operations, and flight training. Students will pilot drones provided by SLCC to learn drone flying techniques and imagery acquisition. Students may be required to travel within the Salt Lake Valley for flight training.
The course introduces Python programming for GIS. Students learn core Python concepts and data structures to analyze spatial data, write and customize scripts, and automate geoprocessing workflows. The course also covers SQL and basic database design for geospatial data storage, retrieval, and management.
Introduces theories and practical skills for processing and analyzing remote sensing data, including satellite and drone imagery, lidar, and photogrammetry. Covers image and sensor characteristics, data extraction from imagery, and image interpretation and analysis. It is recommended that students take GEOG 2500 in the same semester as this course.
The course addresses the interpretation and understanding of a variety of data formats available in GIS. It introduces the fundamental concepts of primary GIS data creation and discusses quantitative techniques for collection, classification, and management of geographical data.
Advanced applications of drone technology for imagery acquisition. This hands-on course covers building, operating, and outfitting for still and video imaging and image capture. Students will pilot drones provided by SLCC and may be required to travel within the Salt Lake Valley for flight training.
Course provides an avenue for recertification/endorsements for teachers, or an opportunities for students with varying credit needs. Individual topics will be mutually defined by instructor and student. Course may be taught with a Community-Engaged Learning component.
This course introduces students to problem-solving and decision-making using geoprocessing techniques to spatially analyze data that cannot be easily understood with typical databases. This course will analyze new and existing spatial and temporal data to create and generate information about the physical and cultural environments.
