| I want to take the GIS Quick Course, but I'm not sure about my skills. How do I know if I can take the course? |
|
You will need proficiency in using a windows operating system. This includes opening and closing windows, navigating the screen by using the mouse, saving information and creating files and folders. The GIS Quick Course is not a beginning course for computer users. It is an advanced course for students who are computer literate.
|
| If I take the GIS Quick Course can I take GIS and the Urban Environment? |
|
Yes, the Quick Course would be a good introduction to all the other workshops on the professional tract that use ESRI software.
|
What is the difference between the Professional Tract and the Nonprofit Tract?
|
| The Professional Tract uses ESRI software, the standard for the industry; its an expensive software that is often available for people working with GIS on a regular basis. The Nonprofit Tract will use web based software, allowing you to continue your work and projects without purchasing ESRI products. |
| Do I receive college credit for a course? |
|
The GIS Education Center offers fee based workshops that do not provide college credit. It is considered life long learning and professional development. At this point, only classes taken through the Earth Science Department are credit classes. These classes are also listed in the Engineering Department.
|
| Can I get an internship through the GIS Program at Evans Campus? |
|
We are working on creating internship opportunities; this past semester we placed three students
in nonpaying positions that provided experience and skills. You may contact the Director for other opportunities.
|
| How do I get lab access at Evans Campus? |
|
You will have GIS lab access for the semester that you take the class. A class taken in August 2008 will give you access the lab for fall 2008 only. The lab hours will be posted during the semester. A lab access card will be given to you in class.
