This introductory workshop is designed for students with no/few GIS skills, and who are interested in understanding basic concepts of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and gaining skills to work with GIS on their own. The workshop will demonstrate the fundamentals of creating maps, editing data, and performing geospatial analysis.
Students will gain confidence in these fundamentals through various exercises and assignments. Using Esri's ArcGIS Desktop 10, students will be exposed to the most powerful and industry-standard desktop GIS software package.
