Geospatial Technology Course Descriptions
Associate of Applied Science (AAS.GIS)
This program consists of a sequence of introductory courses in geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS) and remote sensing (RS).
These courses will emphasize the practical use of geospatial technology to a broad range of issues such as sustainable populations growth, land use management, transportation route planning, and water-quality management.
Graduates of this program will be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of geographic information systems and how they can be used to manage and analyze spatial information
- Demonstrate an understanding of the principle of remote sensing and image processing.
- Explore geospatial technology's role in social, behavioral, life, and physical sciences
- Apply critical thinking and communications skills through problem-solving projects
