Course Objective |
In particular, it aims to make the transition from GIS as a descriptive, data management tool to GIS as an analytical research tool for drawing policy-relevant conclusions from vector data. To a degree. Upon completion of Applied GIS, you should have a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of a modern GIS software environment and the necessary applied skills to independently complete a GIS project including establishing objectives, reviewing literature and/or practices elsewhere, identifying, acquiring, converting and integrating the required data, creating GIS layers (themes) in multiple different formats, editing, correcting and modifying GIS layers, conducting geographic analyses, customizing software applications, and drawing and presenting legitimate conclusions and results. These skills will be essential for completing work in other courses in the geographical information sciences curriculum at UTD and for conducting GIS projects in the real world . |
