T GIS 311 Maps and GIS (6) QSR
Introduction to map interpretation and basic spatial analysis through the use of geographic information systems (GIS). Emphasizes developing, through hands-on experience, a fundamental understanding of GIS and the technical expertise necessary for applying GIS in a variety of scenarios such as environmental science, urban planning, nursing, social work, and business.
T GIS 312 GIS Data and Analysis (6) NW
Examines GIS management and implementation strategies. Includes data acquisition, database management and manipulation, analytical techniques including vector and raster based modeling for planning and decision making. Combines practical applications, aspatial and spatial data, and analyzes for geographic trends, patterns, and relationships. Prerequisite: TESC 311.
T GIS 313 GIS Project Design (3) NW
Provides practical experience in designing a GIS model. Students identify a problem associated with their field of interest; plan and design a GIS model for solving the problem; and conduct an in-depth study of the development of GIS models through literature review and case studies. Prerequisite: TESC 311.
T GIS 414 Advanced GIS (6) NW
Examines advanced issues in GIS analysis using ArcGIS and ARC/INFO software. Raster based modeling, algorithms, 2- and 3-dimensional representations, introductory GIS programming, and planning issues. The use of raster images, remotely sensed imagery, and GPS enables students to create their own unique GIS. Prerequisite: T GIS 312; T GIS 313.
T GIS 415 GIS Practicum (3) NW
Implementing of the project developed in GIS Project Design. Includes taking a working model from its evolution through the phases of problem statement, data acquisition and management, data analysis, and final presentation. Prerequisite: T GIS 312; T GIS 313.
