GEO 135 - Introduction to GIS
Credits: 3
Lecture: Three lecture.
This course will provide an overview of geodesign processes, an understanding of the concepts, principles, and applications of spatial analysis to design problem-solving projects, and provide student preparation for integrating geodesign techniques across disciplines of study and/or applications in the workplace, and/or to issues relating to optimizing the nature and course of human interactions in an environmental, social, or political context.
Course Outcomes:
Students will be able to:
- identify the concepts and principles of geospatial data analysis;
- demonstrate how to create, edit, and geocode geospatial data for mapping applications;
- illustrate basic geospatial applications using GIS software;
- demonstrate an understanding of problem identification, project design and successful geodesign modeling using geospatial technology.
- employ the concepts, principles, and applications of geodesign to develop an interdisciplinary approach to other academic coursework, and/or the workplace environment in order to generate solutions to problems of the human condition that result in designs that more closely follow natural systems.
