Geographic Information Systems Advanced

Overview

GIS is an expanding and evolving technology that has become an essential tool in government and business. The use of GIS continues to increase across business, industry, academic, and government sectors. Today, this powerful technology is used in all world fields. Advertising, Pipeline, Agriculture, Banking, Energy, Health, Local government, Oil and Gas, Military, Tourism, Utilities and more.

Objectives

The primary purpose of this course is to extend the knowledge and skills in GIS. It emphasizes on a number of advanced GIS methods and concepts needed to use GIS correctly and effectively for manipulating, querying, analyzing, and visualizing spatial-based data. It also develops proficiency in GIS usage for more clearly understanding properties, processes and analyzing spatial data, and for generating cartographic output from the analysis. Hands-on live demonstrations using ESRI ArcGIS 9.1 software.

Audience

This course for who needs to have in-depth coverage of the analytical ability of GIS such as spatial analysis, Geo-database, modeling various analyses, mapping and others.

Perquisites

This is an advanced level course in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It will build on the techniques learned in the Introduction to Geographic Information Systems course.
