Unit Code: URP711

Unit Name: Geographic Information System II

Description: This course builds upon the foundation GIS knowledge and skills acquired at the introductory level and guides students in the development of increasingly sophisticated spatial analysis capabilities. The course offers a very in-depth set of materials on spatial database management, including materials on the tools needed to work in spatial database management, and the applications of that data to real-life problem-solving. Exercises and tools for working with Arc GIS, as well as sample database sets, are provided. A real-life final project is presented in the studio section. The general aim of this unit is the students have knowledge and capacity to utilize relevant technical tools for data analysis and mapping, knowledge of quantitative methods, spatial mapping and relevant work production software especially GIS software (CPIA1-03).

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, you should be able to: a. Identify and apply some GIS tools for spatial analysis (GPIA-1, GPIA-5) b. Evaluate raster data analysis and design spatial mapping (GPIA-1, GPIA-3, GPIA-5, GPIA-7) c. Compose 3D spatial analyst using Arc GIS (GPIA-3, GPIA-5)
