Introduction to ArcGIS I (Geographic Information Systems)

May 19th., 20th. and 21st., 2010

The Levin College of Urban Affairs is offering an introductory ArcGIS 9.3 workshop. This three-day workshop is taught by Jim Wyles, a certified GIS Professional (GISP).

This course introduces participants to ArcGIS and its component applications. Participants learn how to use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox and explore how these applications work together to provide a complete GIS software solution. The course covers fundamental GIS concepts as well as how to create, edit, and work with georeferenced spatial data. Participants become familiar with the ArcGIS graphical user interface (GUI), and learn how to manipulate tabular data, query a GIS database, and present data clearly and efficiently using maps and charts. Workshop materials, including a workbook and data CD, are provided. Upon successful completion of the workshop certificates are awarded.

*CSU faculty, staff and students are offered the discounted rate of $250 (regular price $800).*
(Note: Priority is given to attendees paying the full price. In the event that an attendee paying the discounted rate is bumped he/she will receive a refund.) Space is limited, so early registration is
encouraged. No experience with desktop mapping or GIS technology is required, but registrants should know how to use Windows-based software.
