Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a computer-based tool that uses spatial (geographic) data, students analyze and solve real-world problems. Students examine the basic principles and techniques of GIS, including computer representation of geographic data, vector and raster data models, map projections, coordinate systems, spatial analysis, and map design. Students apply the theoretical underpinnings of GIS by practicing those concepts and techniques in the labora- tory portion of the course. Currently using ESRI's ArcGIS software: versions upgraded to maintain currency with industry software usage.
