This course enables students to develop practical skills associated with spatial technologies
and to investigate related career opportunities. Students will develop their ability to use
geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and remote sensing
technologies. They will apply the concepts of geographic thinking and the geographic
inquiry process when conducting fieldwork, collecting and organizing data, and analysing
spatial images such as maps and aerial photographs. Throughout the course, students’
local context is emphasized.
