    Description
    (No prerequisite. Advisory: Familiarity with Windows operating system and software is highly recommended.) This interdisciplinary course explores Geographic Information Systems (GIS) used to evaluate, store, manage, analyze, modify and present spatial data and associated graphics. It presents GIS as a tool for both practical and academic use. In lecture with hands-on computer use, students are introduced to GIS primarily through Esri ArcGIS for Desktop and OSGeo QGIS software, Google Earth, and Global Positioning Systems software. It concludes with a term project that requires acquiring and analyzing data in the student's chosen area of academic interest. (CSU/UC) C-ID: GEOG 155
