Increasing Capabilities is an Atlas strategic intent
GRCC GIS students are a critical component of that strategy.
Class projects
Assists students in developing specific skills in project planning. Students search and select a topic of interest for the final GIS project for implementation in GIS 292. Encourages students to communicate with the GIS community to find a real-world project which students do individually or in a group. Students learn to plan a project using time management and project scheduling techniques common to the industry. All students submit a written proposal for their GIS project plan, which is completed in GIS 292. SEE GRCC web site for current information
Continuation of GIS 291. Students learn to use project planning and implement a project plan to completion. Students choose a specialty area of GIS for class project work and submit a complete written project. Possible specialties include natural resources/conservation, urban planning, national security, utilities, real estate, criminal justice or other areas of interest. Students apply knowledge learned throughout the GRCC GIS program to accomplish the final capstone project in GIS 292. If an appropriate opportunity exists, students may be able to address real-world projects through internship in government, private sector, or non-profit organizations.

Internship
Allows students to work full or part-time in jobs directly related to their programs and interests. Students may receive a salary or volunteer. SEE GRCC web site for current information
Funding (Course fee)
Focuses on two GIS programming approaches for ArcGIS desktop: ArcObjects programming with Visual Basic Applications and Python programming. Students apply the principles of object-oriented programming to GIS applications. Explores how Python scripts add functionality to ArcGIS along with tools/buttons to call up these functions. Students also learn to write and debug scripts for ArcGIS. SEE GRCC web site for current information
