Course Description:
This course is a continuation of the introductory course on
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Data Analysis. GIS is an important tool for organizing,
analyzing, and displaying the data related to the environment, land/resource
management, and planning activities. The
geodatabase and geoprocessing are the foundation for many GIS applications and
projects. The course will cover GIS
project planning, geospatial database design, and geoprocessing methods in GIS
for querying, reporting, analyzing, and presenting spatial data. The class includes both lectures on theory
and hand-on exercises using Geodatabase, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox, and ArcMap in
ESRI’s ArcGIS. The class also includes a
GIS project which involves applying the theory of geodatabase and geoprocessing
to real world cases.
Prerequisites:
Students should have completed the introductory GIS courses
successfully in order to take this course.
Students should be familiar with basic GIS concepts, techniques, and
ESRI ArcGIS software. If students have
equivalent knowledge and experience on GIS, but have not taken the introductory
GIS course at FIU, they need to contact the instructor to receive permission.
