4 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.
GIST 2310Introduction to Geographic Information Systems4
Students acquire an introductory-level understanding of the principles and practices of geographic information systems (GIS), both as an interactive spatial database and as a powerful analytical tool. Students learn the theory of mapping and spatial data analysis as well as learn to use GIS software through exercises and projects. (3 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)
GIST 2510Introduction to Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems3
This course covers the basics of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS). It provides some background information on the physics of flight, the importance of weather in RPAS, and the history of RPAS. Other Topics include the remote pilot certification process and major components of the most common RPAS: drones. 3 hrs lec
GIST 2520Applications of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems3
This course will guide students deeper into the carious applications of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS). Topics such as aerial mapping, commercial photography, land survey, agricultural applications and industrial inspections will be covered in this lecture/lab based class. Includes supervised student RPAS use. Prereq: GIST 2510 3 hrs lec
This applied course allows students to formulate and then implement a RPAS project of their own creation. After learning about various remote sensing technologies such as lidar, multispectral imaging, and others, students will spend time gathering RPAS data on their own and analyzing the results. Students will have the opportunity to collaborate the local private and public organizations for their project. prereq: GIST 2510 & GIST 2520 3 hrs lec
