Geo 100 - Seeing the World: The Fundamentals of Geospatial Science and Spatial Reasoning


Course Description: Introduction to the fundamental concepts of Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIS&T) including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), cartography, remote sensing, and spatial analysis. Exploration of how geospatial technologies are used in addressing human and environmental issues.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLO's):
  1. The student will describe the fundamental concepts and applications of Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIS&T), including the problems and challenges of representing change over space and time.
  2. The student will demonstrate the use of web mapping tools to study and develop possible solutions to real world problems.
  3. The student will describe and explain the historical development of GIS&T and how GIS&T helps to solve problems of a spatial context.
  4. The student will demonstrate basic proficiency in map reading, interpretation, and design principles, including map projections and the geographic grid.
  5. The student will describe the fundamental concepts and applications of remote sensing and Global Positioning Systems.
  6. The student will describe and demonstrate how to access different sources of data, describe the process of creating data, and discuss the fundamental concepts of data quality.
  7. The student will identify, explain, and interpret spatial patterns and relationships
