Abstract

This course employs design principles to create and edit effective visual representations of data (e.g. maps, graphs and diagrams) in different formats (e.g. hardcopy, digital, web) to complete projects that integrate the knowledge and skills learned in the three prerequisite GIS courses. In the final project students will create a project proposal and research design and carry it through to implementation, results, and analysis. Students will use the GIS functionality found within ESRI ArcGIS software as a tool to complete their projects.
