3 units. Introduction to maps, map concepts, and geographic technologies. Maps are the most effective way to communicate spatial data, and introduces students to the quickly changing world of maps (both hard-copy and digital) and geographic technologies including map and aerial photograph interpretation, spreadsheet operations, introductory statistics, global positioning systems (GPS), Internet mapping, satellite and aerial images, and geographic information systems (GIS) that aid in data collection, analysis, and presentation. Lecture two hours, laboratory two hours.
This course addressed portions of the GIS&T Body of Knowledge Core Units AM3, AM4, CF4, CV2, CV3, CV6, DM3, DN2, GD1, GD3, GD4, GD5, GD6, GD10, GD12, and GS6.
3 units. Preparation of maps and diagrams, emphasizing thematic map design using various mapping and design programs. Detailed study of important map projections. Lecture one hour, laboratory six hours.
