| Geographic Information Systems | What is the backbone of GIS? What are the scientific tenets that make GIS a scientific process and not an art? What is GIS as a System? What are the components of this System? What data structures make GIS possible? How do we collect and/or measure spatial data? How do we manage this data? How do we analyze it? How do we store and retrieve it? What visualization tools and techniques do we use to make the data consumable? | 3-01-2022 - TO-DATE |

| Introduction to Surveying Technologies | This course introduces the fundamentals of surveying measurements to provide a broad
overview of the surveying instrumentation (Total Station, Digital Level), procedures, measurement
corrections and reductions, survey datums, and computations that are required to produce a
topographical map or a site plan for engineering and design projects. This course covers three main
themes: 1) terrestrial-based survey measurements, 2) space-based positioning (Global Positioning
System (GPS)) and survey | Sep 2023 - Dec 2023 |
