GIS3: Advanced Geographic Information Systems

Catalog description

GIS3 is the capstone course for both the GIS Major and GIS Minor programs. GIS3 examines advanced topics in GIS such as spatial data analysis and visualization, workflow automation, and recognizing the interoperable nature of GIS, Remote Sensing, GNSS, and other geotechnologies. Skills development focuses on advanced forms of spatial data analysis (e.g., network analysis, spatial point pattern analysis, terrain modelling, optimum site selection, etc.), workflow automation methods, and both desktop and online mapping. Students are expected to design and implement an independent Capstone GIS Project during the course.
