GIS 105 Fundamentals of GIS An introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a tool for integrating and analyzing spatial data to visualize relationships, seek explanations, and develop solutions to problems. Emphasis is places on the nature of geographic information, and the ways in which digital methods support geographic analysis and modeling. Course will be divided between lecture and lab sessions. This course is open to GIS and on-GIS majors. Introduction to Computer (CSCI 101) or a working knowledge of Microsoft Windows is required. GIS 107 GIS Application The course will provide hands-on opportunities to experience the hardware and software used for GIS. The course applies the Fundamental GIS concepts as well as how to create, edit, and work with spatial data through exploring hands-on real world applications in relation to urban community, environmental data, and more. Students will manipulate, query, and present data in maps and make decisions from the presented information. Emphasis will be on ESRI’s ArcGIS software and the spatial analyst extension. Prerequisites: Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems GIS 206 GIS in Science, Agriculture, and Business The course integrates the fields of business, agriculture, and science through GIS and GPS. The course will be divided between lecture, guest speakers who are experts in their fields, and lab sessions that apply fundamental concepts associated with how GIS can compliment business, agricultural, and science applications. Prerequisites: Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems GIS 215 GPS, Photogrammetry, and Remote Sensing The course integrates the disciplines of GPS, photogrammetry, and remote sensing. Hands-on opportunities to manipulate GPS, DOQs, DLGs, TIFFs, and JPEG images to track environmental changes over time are presented through raster analysis. Students will work together to solve environmental problems through group projects. Electromagnetic radiation in relation to environmental remote sensing will also be covered. Prerequisites: Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems The following individuals are leaders for this discipline. Those marked with an asterisk (*) are chairs.
