ArcGIS II Description: ArcGIS software offers many tools for visualizing, creating, managing, and analyzing geographic data. In this course, students extend their ArcGIS skills in the areas of cartography, data automation and editing, and geoprocessing and spatial analysis. Students work with advanced cartographic tools as they learn how to efficiently create effective maps. A major focus of the course is the geodatabase. Students learn database design considerations and techniques for creating, maintaining, and managing GIS data stored in a geodatabase. The ArcGIS geoprocessing tools for spatial analysis are also covered and, in a course project, students apply many of their newly acquired skills.
Students completing this course will be able to:
- Classify and symbolize data.
- Create custom symbols, labels, and annotation.
- Work with map templates.
- Geocode addresses.
- List database design considerations.
- Create and edit metadata.
