SHORT COURSES


Beginners GIS
This is a 1-day introduction class on GIS and how to use ArcGIS 9 for producing maps of water distribution networks, service areas (fields) and related structures/facilities. Students will learn basic mapping skills including use of aerial photographs to quickly map areas/facilities and combining GIS layers to produce useful and informative maps.

Intermediate GIS
This is a 1-day advanced class on the use of ArcGIS 9, continuing from the beginner's course. Students will learn how to create personal geodatabases, activities using spatial analysis, and be given a demonstration on ArcGIS Server for web applications.

GPS
This is a ½-day class will provide hands-on instruction on how to use GPS (global positioning systems) for mapping, and will include simple hand-held units to more complex, survey-grade units. No previous experience in GPS, mapping or surveying is required. Students will learn how to record the coordinates of locations and import that data into a computer for displaying onto GIS or other types of maps.
