Geographic Information System 101 (Live Webinar)PE, PLS, RA

Ellen Huang, PE

Geographic Information System (GIS) allows us to view, understand, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that have never been achieved before. One of its most common GIS applications is to produce data visualizations in the form of a map, which is the focus of our discussion in this webinar. Because of its power of revealing relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts, GIS has become an indispensable tool in such fields as land development, urban planning, natural resource management, environmental studies, utility networks, infrastructure inventory, natural hazard mitigation, business marketing, public health, public safety, and national security. Therefore, having a basic understanding of what GIS is and how it can be used will help engineers, architects, and land surveyors expand their knowledge base and adapt to this rapidly changing world. This course introduces students to the history of GIS development, basic concepts behind GIS, and fundamentals of mapping. In addition, students will learn some of the popular applications of GIS.

This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials.


Note to Webinar Attendees:

Our live webinars (web seminars) are considered as "Courses of Learning" (live courses) by the New York State Board for Engineering and Land Surveying and as "Timed & Monitored Courses" by the Ohio State Board for Professional Engineers and Surveyors. Unlike the traditional seminars held in a classroom setting, our webinars deliver live instruction to your home or office. You will be able to interact directly with our instructor during a webinar through audio channel or chat box. However, you must attend the webinar at a scheduled date and time. We will verify your attendance through our online webinar platform. The certificate of completion will not be issued unless you attend the webinar and pass a quiz (all quiz questions will be reviewed during the webinar). Thank you for your cooperation.
