10 courses with the subject GIST, 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.
Students will participate and work alongside GIST 2100 students assisting them with their GIS/GPS projects.
This course will give students an introduction to collecting and analyzing remote sensed data. The data will include remotely sensed imagery taken from orbiting satellites, aerial flights, and drone data. Special attention will be given to flying Casper College’s drones, learning how to collect their remote sensed imagery and data, and applying the analysis of that data to real-world projects. Fall Semesters
An introductory course in maps and satellite-based global positioning systems (GPS). The course provides a project-based introduction to geographic information systems (GIS), for individualized investigations into geography, cultural diversity and/or cultural evolution. This course introduces historic navigation techniques, and the cartographic concepts of scale, elevation, and coordinate systems. We examine how GPS work, and were first developed, and perform exercises that introduce the basic skills of using a handheld global positioning device.
to GIS (4L)(4CR) An introductory course in geographic information systems (GIS) and an accompanying laboratory session. The course will discuss different types of GIS and their capabilities; GIS data collection and input; GIS data types and basic mapping concepts. The laboratory session 212 will introduce students to ArcView 8 software.
This course addresses strategies for successful GIS management and implementation in an organization-wide context and is organized around three primary issues: implementation planning, data management, and GIS problem solving in the workforce.
An advanced GIS course. The students will be split into teams and given a case study from an outside client and solve the case study using GIS. At the end of the semester, the teams will present the solution to the client in a presentation.
Survey of the use of maps to communicate ideas and opinions about places, and the analysis and presentation of mapped data to solve spatial or geographic problems.
An introductory course in geographic information systems (GIS) and an accompanying laboratory session. The course will discuss different types of GIS and their capabilities; GIS data collection and input; GIS data types and basic mapping concepts. The laboratory session will introduce students to ArcView 8 software.
An opportunity for students to develop projects in their particular area of interest within the GIS field.
Students are afforded the opportunity to gain practical on-the-job experience in their specialties. The program coordinator and the student’s employer will supervise the student. A minimum of 80 hours of on-the-job training represents one semester hour. Students must maintain 12 credit hours with at least a 2.0 GPA during the semester.
