About the Course
This three-day course follows Introduction to ArcGIS I for ArcView 9, ArcEditor 9, and ArcInfo 9 and continues present important concepts and functionality for successfully working with ArcGIS. With further exploration of ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox, students focus on spatial analysis, automation of spatial and attribute data, editing, and advanced options for cartographic display and reports. Hands-on exercises teach ArcGIS procedures in the context of solving real-world problems. Examples and exercises use data from a variety of application areas. A portion of the class is reserved for carrying out an analysis project and applying many of the new skills and techniques learned in this course. Students conduct queries, perform spatial analysis, and present their results in a hard copy map and report. The course will be taught in the Remote Sensing Laboratory, located at the Mississippi e-Center at Jackson State University.
