GPHY 286 - Advanced GIS Credit(s): 4
Prerequisite(s): GPHY 284 . This course introduces students to problem-solving and decision making using spatial analysis techniques through advanced tools in both vector and raster data models. Topics include spatial data analysis, surface analysis and 3D visualization, network analysis, and modeling applications. (Spring Semester)
Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to - Think spatially and identify geospatial concepts and methods related to real world issues.
- Apply geospatial data models in the context of spatial analysis.
- Describe how various spatial data models relate to your specific discipline.
- Implement spatial data conversion techniques.
- Use fundamental spatial analysis, synthesis, and modeling concepts and techniques.
- Discuss various analysis, synthesis and modeling concepts in terms of how they relate to your specific discipline or area of interest.
- Explain concepts of error and uncertainty and how they relate to spatial analysis and applications in student’s discipline or area of interest.
- Describe the database design process and develop a database schema.
- Summarize current GIS technology in relationship to computer technology.
- Implement alternative output options including interactive and web maps.
- Apply concepts through hands on exercises using a major GIS software package.
