Scope
This course introduces basic theories and technologies of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), including the representation, acquisition, manipulation, analysis, and visualization of geographically related information. Used by environmentalists, engineers, land-use planners, architects, managers of large land holdings, and the military, these highly-intricate "decision support" systems assist managers in answering important "what if" questions. Hands-on experiences of GIS software are emphasized through lab and practical exercise applications.

Scope
Geographic information systems are hardware/software systems that permit the input, storage, retrieval, manipulation, analysis, and display of geocoded data. Used by environmentalists, engineers, land-use planners, architects, managers of large land holdings, and the military, these highly-intricate "decision support" systems assist managers in answering important "what if" questions. Using digitizers and microcomputers students will build a geocoded database and solve "real-world" problems.
