To address the cost of resources for exercise manuals in GIS, I have developed a series of class exercises that can be used with QGIS, a free and open source software. In addition, some class activities address more general ideas associated with cartography, such as color theory. To make these resources fully accessible to students, I have recorded publicly available videos documenting how these class activities can be completed. There is one video for each classroom lesson in this course offering, and links to all of the videos on the website Vimeo are linked to.
DESCRIPTION Develops skills needed to produce maps using ArcGIS Desktop software. Outlines cartographic principles and map use. Emphasis on mapping techniques within a GIS. Intended for students enrolled in GIS or UAS programs.
LEARNING OUTCOMES 1. Demonstrate knowledge and apply skills essential to the discipline. 2. Coordinate and manage the delivery of reliable, valid, GIS data including analysis and specialized user needs products. 3. Communicate effectively and appropriately within a professional setting in both written and oral form. 4. Utilize professional communication skills to achieve project outcomes in collaboration with GIS users across disciplines. 5. Research, interpret and apply data/information in the professional setting. 6. Develop and implement GIS services for users who may or may not be GIS knowledgeable.

The goal of these class activities is to help students interpret maps and associated data. The first activity highlights underinvestment in disadvantaged communities across the United States. The second activity explores women’s rights and inequality from a global perspective.
DESCRIPTION Introduces students to the theory and methods of remote sensing through use of satellite imagery. Practical exercises involve use of SPOT, LANDSAT and Quickbird images with ArcGIS/Imagine Analysis software. Digital analysis is discussed and performed including preprocessing, image classification and image evaluation. Intended for students enrolled in the second year of GIS or UAS programs, or similar academic preparation (see program director for details).
LEARNING OUTCOMES 1. Demonstrate knowledge and apply skills essential to the discipline. 2. Apply GIS skills necessary to provide geospatial and thematic data. 3. Apply critical thinking and problem solving skill that reflect best practice. 4. Coordinate and manage the delivery of reliable, valid, GIS data including analysis and specialized user needs products. 5. Communicate effectively and appropriately within a professional setting in both written and oral form.
