This course covers the basic concepts of geographic information systems (GIS), the methods and software used to implement them, and their appplications to surveying and analysis of other surveying problems. This course will provide an overview of geographic information systems and a foundation in georeferencing spatial data with coordinate systems, projecting these data to a flat surface, employing map scale, working with layers of information, and making maps. Students will construct a final map project that demostrates an application of methods and software components.
