GPH 442 Programming for GIS

3 Credit(s)

As Geographic Information Systems (GIS) become more common, they are increasingly being combined with programming and scripting languages to facilitate repetitive tasks and more complex geoprocessing approaches. The goal of this class is to provide an introduction to the Python programming language, and to be able to apply that skill to geoprocessing tasks. In addition, this class will develop the ability to apply those software and geoprocessing skills to real world situations. Prerequisite: GPH 140 or GPH 340.
