Course Credit: 1
(ARCH, ENVS)
A lab-intensive introduction to the basic concepts in computer-based GIS. The course is designed to provide interested students a hands-on approach to spatial database design and analysis. Students will depict and evaluate spatial data to produce cartographic results in order to solve problems in a variety of disciplines, with emphasis on the natural sciences. The primary platform used will be ArcMap by ESRI and Microsoft Excel, but the techniques learned are applicable to other software packages. Three hours of lecture weekly. Annually. [MNS]
