DESCRIPTION
This course introduces the concepts of a geographic information system (GIS). It teaches the essential skills of operating a functional GIS using an ESRI software. package. Students will understand:
1) the operational processes of spatial data acquisition (by the Global Positioning System (GPS)),
2) the geodatabase concept,
3) the spatial query and display, spatial analysis and modeling,
4) cartographic mapping and dynamic visualization,
5) mapping exploitaion.
GIS technology has broad applications in natural and social sciences, humanities, environmental studies, engineering, and management. Examples include wildlife habitat study, urban and regional planning, contagious disease monitoring, agriculture and forestry, environmental quality assessment, emergency, management, transportation planning, consumer and competitoranalysis, and many more. This course will introduce a few selected cases of GIS application in different disciplines.
