Description

GIS professionals should be comfortable acquiring, manipulating, and converting most common types of spatial data into a format that can be used for analysis and/or cartographic purposes. This course explores creating and working with vector data to ensure best data management practices (topology, domains, etc.). It will also involve converting different spatial data formats. We will be briefly viewing available data using ArcGIS Online Living Atlas. Methods include data capture, data editing, attributing, geo-referencing, joins/relates, domains. Class format: approximately 50% lecture, 50% software applications.

Description

ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based web mapping platform used across multiple industries and by GIS professionals worldwide. It enables you to make maps, host data, create various mapping applications, and share your data with anyone who has internet access. Web GIS is becoming the cornerstone of sharing GIS data and map distribution. In this course you will learn the fundamental terminology and capabilities of ArcGIS Online. We will review the various data types, web map configurations, mobile data collection, sharing security model, and various desktop web applications. ArcGIS Online is becoming an industry standard for sharing and creating data, GIS students who would like to expand their knowledge of GIS should take advantage of this course.

Description

Introduction to programming ArcGIS using the Geoprocessing Environment. Students will learn to create geoprocessing tools that can be combined with other tools, in models and the toolbox, to process complex analysis tasks and automate repetitive data maintenance needs. Scripting with Python is emphasized as the appropriate technology for getting GIS work done by users, and is compatible with ArcGIS modules and all current geospatial data structures: rasters, shapefiles, coverages, and geodatabases. Students need no prior programming experience.
