| description |
Course syllabus with linked powerpoint lecture slides, assignments. This course is intended for undergraduate and graduate students who have the desire to understand the basic concepts underlying geographic information science and technology. Emphasis is placed on the principles of GIS for characterizing environmental systems and computer-based techniques for processing and analyzing spatial data. Map understanding, database design and development, data transformations, spatial analysis, map accuracy assessment, and data visualization are considered. Issues discussed relate to needs assessment, collaborative spatial decision-making, and implementation of GIS within organizations. The course objectives are to 1)increase student awareness of GIS science and technology; 2) provide opportunities to process, analyze, and visualize spatial data and information using commercially-available GIS software; 3) generate enthusiasm and interest in using GIS for meeting environmental assessment needs; and 4) gain an appreciation for the complexities of data manipulation, analysis, and mapping at different scales of space, time, and complexity.
