Program Description
The applied Geographic Information System (GIS) program will give participants
the critical knowledge to succeed in the challenging world of geospatial
technologies. This includes advanced classes and labs in global positioning
systems (Trimble), remote sensing (ERDAS IMAGINE), GIS (ArcGIS) and web based
mapping and spatial analysis. In particular, applications of these technologies
in the oil and gas industry, parcel mapping, local government, national security
and market research are featured. Additionally, this program is designed to
enhance an individual's knowledge in scientific investigations, resource
management, asset management, environmental impact assessment, and urban
planning. GIS technologies use digital information, for which various digitized
data creation methods are used.
