Introduction to ArcGIS I: GIS Fundamentals September 16- October 9, 2014 This 16 hour course provides the foundation for understanding GIS, what it can do, and how others are using it. Students learn the basic functions of a GIS, GIS Terminology, and why GIS is a powerful tool for data analysis, retrieval and visualization. In course exercises, students work with ArcMap, an application within ArcGIS Desktop, to visualize geographic data, create maps, query a GIS database, perform spatial analysis using common analysis tools, and solve geographic problems using a systematic approach. This course teaches the skills and knowledge needed to take other ArcGIS Desktop courses. Class will include quizzes for each lesson, a final exam and a final project which will make use of the skills learned. Introduction to ArcGIS II: Analysis & Editing October 28 - December 4, 2014 This 24 hour course builds on the skills learned in the Introduction to ArcGIS I course and teaches the range analysis and editing functionality available in the ArcGIS desktop. This hands-on course uses exercises to emphasize practice with ArcMap and ArcCatalog (the primary applications included with ArcGIS Desktop software) to perform common GIS tasks and workflows. The tools for creating and managing geographic data, displaying data on maps in different ways, and combining and analyzing data to discover patterns and relationships are highlighted. Class will include quizzes for each lesson, a final exam and a final project which will make use of the skills learned. Using AutoCAD® Data In ArcGIS Desktop January 6 - 29, 2015 With the ever increasing need for design and GIS professionals to share data, it is critical that GIS users understand and are able to make use of data created with Autodesk's AutoCAD® or similar software. Using AutoCAD® Data in ArcGIS is a course created by eGIS Associates' experienced instructors that explains the various CAD data formats and how to integrate them into standard ESRI data formats such as shapefiles and geodatabases. Class will include quizzes for each lesson, a final exam and a final project which will make use of the skills learned. Performing GIS Analysis Using ArcGIS February 17 - March 12, 2015 The power of GIS comes from the ability to link data and maps together so that multiple layers of information can be overlaid together. GIS users are able to perform various types of analysis based on spatial and attribute relationships using attribute queries, visualization techniques, spatial queries and geoprocessing tools. The results of such analysis can be used to answer a host of questions. Class will include quizzes for each lesson, a final exam and a final project which will make use of the skills learned. This course will introduce students to the powerful analytical capability of GIS using Esri's ArcGIS Platform. Students will learn how and when to use various types of analysis tools including symbology, queries (spatial & attribute), and geoprocessing tools in ArcToolbox. They will also be shown how these can be linked into a workflow to generate answers to complex questions. Introduction to Model Builder & Python For ArcGIS March 31 - May 28, 2015 Geoprocessing is an essential aspect of GIS that provides the ability to analyze and process geographic data. Geoprocessing tools can be accessed in ArcGIS via ArcToolbox, Model Builder, or Python scripts. Model Builder and Python allow automation and documentation of analysis workflows and processes. ModelBuilder provides a graphical modeling framework for designing and implementing geoprocessing models that can include system tools, scripts, models, and data. This class discusses how ModelBuilder can be used to create advanced procedures and workflows. Models can then be converted to Python scripts. Python is the standard scripting language for ArcGIS. These scripts allow for even greater automation flexibility and integration with other software and processes. This class will cover basic concepts needed to create, modify and run Python Geoprocessing Scripts. Class will include quizzes for each lesson, a final exam and a final project which will make use of the skills learned. ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: TRIPP CORBIN a GIS Certified Professional and an Esri Certified Desktop Associate. Tripp has over 20 years of experience in GIS and Mapping. During those 20 years, he has worked in many aspects of GIS from field data collection and data creation to project management and client support. Tripp is familiar with many of the most common GIS and mapping software packages including ArcGIS, ArcView GIS, ArcInfo®, ArcIMS®, AutoCAD®, Autodesk Map®, MapGuide®, and Microstation®. CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a nationally recognized method for noting non-credit Continuing Education participation. One CEU is awarded for each 10 hours of participation. Some programs carry other professional acknowledgements. Certificates of attendance listing the number of CEUs and other approved hours will be available. Non-credit courses are subject to cancellation if there is insufficient enrollment. In the event a course is cancelled, a registrant has the option of applying the fees paid to another course or receiving a complete refund. |
