GIS 424 - Advanced Projects in Geographic Information Systems

Students pursue individual, advanced service-learning or advanced academic projects in GIS, meeting in class for critiques, trouble-shooting labs and seminars relevant to project topics or methods. Project topics may vary widely. Students will be expected to work closely with a community or faculty client to assess and respond to their needs, answer questions and provide them with maps, data and documentation. Through this work, students learn to plan, manage, execute and document a multi-faceted GIS project, and acquire skills with direct applications to their future careers.
