This course will focus on introducing students to how they can apply geographic information system technology to analyze target issues, such as problems related to natural resource management.
Topics covered include an introduction to operating GIS software (e.g., QGIS), identifying and understanding “big data” or “cloud datasets” with spatial information, the formulation of the analyzing framework, GIS applications for problem-solving, as well as other toolkits such as Google Earth, Google Map, or MS Excel (data preparation, processing & management), which may be introduced and used to aim the analysis.
Parts of this course will require hands-on practice using computers. Thus, students are expected to bring Their Laptops to the classroom when needed. Also, the operating software will Function Better under Window Operating System. Using a laptop with Window Operating System is highly Recommended.
