GIS - Intro
to Geographic Information Systems
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer visualization technology that stores maps as parts of a database, and allows the user to ask questions about the maps. Currently, GIS is being applied to a wide spectrum of industries such as government, communications, telecommunications, utilities, engineering, natural resource management, forestry-environmental science, health and human services, education, and agriculture. GIS and its database management system have been targeted as a key technology that will impact the state labor market.
Students who complete this program, will be familiar with industry standard GIS software and have the skills to work with diverse data sets and analysis.
This certificate will greatly increase the opportunities for students to compete for professional positions in diverse fields. Lake Land College students enrolled in both technical and transfer curricula in an associate of arts or science degree program would be strongly advised to add this certificate to their degree. GIS technology is being used in many upper division courses in bachelor degree programs such as environmental science (natural resource management), geography, engineering, agriculture, sociology, and life sciences. This certificate would allow many transfer students the opportunity to complete course work in techniques and technologies that will be needed to be successful at the university level.
