4 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 101Introduction to Geospatial Technology I3
Provides an introduction to the concepts of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and remote sension components of Geospatial Technology. Teaches the introductory concepts of geographic location and problem solving by using GIS and GPS units in demonstrating solutions to cross-curricular applications of the technology. Part I of II. Lecture: 3 hours per week.
Continues with the concepts of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and remote sensing components of Geospatial Technology. Covers additional concepts of geographic location and problem solving by using GIS and GPS units in demonstrating solutions to cross-curricular applications of the technology. Part II of II. Lecture: 3 hours per week.
GIS 255Exploring Our Earth: Introduction to Remote Sensing3
Introduces material to understand the fundamental physical and mathematical principles and techniques of Remote Sensing. Introduces how each part of the electromagnetic spectrum is used to gather data about Earth. Describes limitations imposed by satellites, aircraft, and sensors. Surveys various methods to access and apply Earth observation/Remote Sensing data. Teaches students to use Remote Sensing software to process and manipulate Landsat, SPOT, photographic, and other imagery in a hands-on approach to Remote Sensing analysis. Lecture: 2 hours. Laboratory: 3 hours. Total: 5 hours per week.
GIS 295Emerging Topics in Geographic Information Systems3
Provides an opportunity to explore emerging topical areas of interest to the students. This course introduces material to understand four emerging topics in the field of Geographic Information Systems that are not covered in depth in other GIS courses. Introduces the concepts of modeling, visualization, and 3D mapping to enhance decison making. Explores field work including data collection, imagery collected from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones), and mapping field data. Introduces concepts of Enterprise GIS and basic Python Programming and scripting for GIS. Explores the fundamentals of sharing GIS data and web mapping creating a GIS Dashboard and creating GIS web applications. Lecture: 2 hours. Laboratory: 2 hours. Total: 4 hours per week.
