Course Description
Study and use of selected computer hardware and software for the storage, retrieval, manipulation, analysis, and display of geographic data. Emphasis is placed on the application of geographic information systems (GIS) for homeland security and emergency management. The course is not intended to provide students with extensive training in particular GIS software. However, laboratory projects involving student use of Windows-based GIS software on desktop computers, and Internet-based GIS applications using Web browsers, are required and will reinforce important concepts.
