Introduction to GIS
Course Description
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are employed by a wide range of fields and disciplines, from environmental science to healthcare, business, real estate development, urban planning and construction management. GIS software links geography (locations and shapes of constructed or natural features) with attributes (quantities such as number of people, qualities such as type of species or level of contamination hazard). This course serves as an introduction to the concepts and practice of GIS and seeks to familiarize students with the many applications of GIS technologies. Utilizing a project-based methodology throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to merge application and theoretical topics.
