Course description: ASM 591F covers fundamentals of GIS analysis applied to
environmental, agricultural, and engineering-related problems. Topics include
data sources, spatial analysis; projections; creating data and metadata, and
conceptualizing and solving spatial problems using GIS. At the end of this course,
students will:
1. Understand the fundamentals of spatial analysis
2. Be able to apply GIS to agricultural, environmental, and engineering problems
3. Be able to make informed judgements about the suitability of GIS data and analysis for a particular application
4. Develop skills to effectively use ArcGIS, a major GIS software tool
5. Enhance their problem-solving and communication skills through independent projects and presentations
6. Be able to learn independently in the future about GIS, ArcGIS, and other
GIS software
Note: Agricultural Systems Management (ASM) 591F was formerly taught for several years as ABE 591F. It will be the same course. Although we are in the Agricultural and Biological Engineering department, to sign up you must look under ASM, not ABE.
