Overview
ArcGIS software offers many tools for visualizing, creating, managing, and
analyzing geographic data. In this course, students extend their ArcGIS skills
in the areas of cartography, data automation and editing, and geoprocessing and
spatial analysis. Students work with advanced cartographic tools as they learn
how to efficiently create effective maps. A major focus of the course is the
geodatabase. Students learn database design considerations and techniques for
creating, maintaining, and managing GIS data stored in a geodatabase. The ArcGIS
geoprocessing tools for spatial analysis are also covered and, in a course
project, students apply many of their newly acquired skills.
