Why GIS matters
GIS connects location, infrastructure, assets, customers, and operational questions. The course focuses on making spatial information accurate, interpretable, and useful across engineering and data roles.
02Practice
Apply it through guided work
03Demonstrate
Turn the work into visible proof
Learning progression
Each stage creates the foundation for the next.
The curriculum moves from understanding to application, so the final work is supported by a clear technical process.
01
Build mapping foundations
Understand coordinate systems, projections, scale, symbology, and what makes a map trustworthy.
CoordinatesProjectionsScaleMap design
02
Work with spatial data
Create, organize, clean, and connect vector, raster, and attribute information.
Vector dataRaster dataAttributesData quality
03
Answer spatial questions
Use queries, joins, buffers, overlays, and proximity logic to move from data to findings.

What your work demonstrates01 02 03 04
Outputs that make the learning visible.
Structured spatial dataset
Clean layers and attributes prepared for analysis instead of an unorganized collection of files.
Analytical map
A map that answers a defined location-based question using defensible spatial operations.
Presentation-ready layout
A clear map composition with hierarchy, symbology, scale, and the context a reviewer needs.
Repeatable GIS workflow
A documented sequence from source data through analysis to an employer-readable output.
