- Overview
- This workshop is designed to give students a broader understanding of using GIS tools for data management, 3D visualization, and map design. The geodatabase is a popular and powerful GIS file format which all GIS users should understand and use in their GIS projects. In addition, students will explore ArcGIS 3D environments in ArcGIS for visualization, fly through, and analysis. Lastly, we'll discuss the strategies in advanced cartography as it relates to map design, labeling, and printing.
The workshop will help students gain confidence in the following areas:
• Understanding geodatabases; their advantages, limitations and uses;
• Building a geodatabase with rules and data integrity, topology;
• 3D rendering, fly through, and analysis;
• Advanced cartographic elements, labeling, and design. - Prereqs & Organization
- Prerequisites
(1) This workshop requires that students possess basic ArcGIS skills; the GIS Quick Start I class would meet this requirement.
(2) Beyond a familiarity with ArcGIS, students need to possess an intermediate-level knowledge of the Windows XP operating system and Excel. This includes creating new files and folders, creating and managing new worksheets in Excel, familiarity with a wide range of file types (e.g. TXT, CSV, XLS, SHP, DBF) and transferring data between computers using a flash drive, or a web-based file transfer service (e.g. www.YousendIt.com) or a CD/DVD.
(3) Additional skills expected: storing, copying and management of multiple data types; managing multiple windows and applications; and the discipline to save work frequently.
(4) A strong motivation to learn, explore and have fun with computer applications is essential. This workshop will require a significant amount of independent work and relies heavily on student initiative.
(5) An openness to working with other students in the class as a shared learning experience in order to complete assignments, build contacts in the professional GIS world and to support relatively new GIS learners.
Organization
The structure of each class will generally consist of a short lecture followed by 2 - 2.5 hours of hands-on lab time and a short break halfway through the class period. - Textbook & Materials
- Flash Drive
Not all lab/exercise data are available online as GIS files can be large. It is recommended you bring a 1GB or greater flash drive. If you plan on taking additional GISEC workshops we recommend at minimum 2GB flash drive though encourage 4GB.Textbook
No textbook is required for this workshop. - FAQs
