ENSC 230L - Introduction to Geographic Information Systems

3 Credit(s)

Liberal Arts
This course provides an introduction to Geographic Information Systems. A Geographic Information System is a series of tools used to create, edit, maintain, and analyze spatial data typically culminating in a printed or electronic map. The course details the terminology, concepts, and applications commonly used with GIS. Hands-on training is provided for data management, input and edit, query and analysis, and map production functions. We will investigate various data sources, data management requirements, geoprocessing operations, and cartographic representation. A required class project will incorporate all of the skills learned during the semester from data download to map presentation. (Does not fulfill Core/LS Natural Science requirement.)

Offered When: Every fall.
Prerequisite(s): ENSC 101L
