GIS 6040 Geographic Information Systems Design, Development & Implementation

This course prepares the student to develop, implement and maintain Geographic Information Systems. Students are exposed to GIS analysis and design employing a structure method approach. The Students examine processes to identify, track and correct errors throughout the GIS implementation process. This is performed by a ‘hands on’ experience of developing a GIS prototype. Geo-spatial data management and integration into a geo-computing environment are also addressed. Topics in varied GIS roll-outs are also examined (e.g., architectures, competing systems designs, programming, administration, and new emerging technologies research).
