ENV 260 - Geographic Information Systems

3.00 credit hours
Geographic Information Science (GIS) is the science of linking data to locations to explore spatial relationships. GIS goes far beyond mapping to evaluating the relationship between different spatial information so that one can identify the best location for new development, locate pollution point sources, find the easiest way to get from point A to point B and develop a better understanding of the way the world interacts. The goals of this course are to teach basic GIS concepts such as spatial data sources and structures, projections and coordinate systems, data editing and creation and geospatial analysis.
