Course Overview: Geographic Information System (GIS) is a
system for capturing, storing, retrieving, manipulating, analyzing and displaying
data which are spatially referenced to the Earth. Estimates are that 80% of all
data has a spatial component. GIS is a spatial problem-solving tool by
providing the answers to the location-related questions, as well as an
effective means of communication by visualizing the results integrated with a
variety of document types such as maps, charts, and tables. With ArcView, you
will learn how to solve spatial problems and present the results. GIS has been
used in many disciplines like business, environmental management,
transportation, urban planning, archaeology, defense and intelligence,
utilities, surveying, health services, education, and so on. The application of
GIS is only limited by the imagination of those who use it. GIS helps make a
better decision. ArcView enables GIS to be used by anyone who is ready to
wonder about spatial problems in the desktop level. The goal of this course is
to learn desktop GIS ArcView.

Course Organization: This course is a 5 day intensive training which takes place from 9 AM to 4 PM (lunch break is included). The course consists of 14 modules, and 1 personalized project. 14 modules cover basic and intermediate capabilities of ArcView, where a lecture will be followed by a lab. At the first day of the course, participants will be asked to specify their projects or tasks that they wish to achieve in ArcView. The last day of the course will lead participants to work on their project while they are expected to consult an instructor and TA.
