This course provides a foundation for students who are considering a career involving
computer-based spatial technologies. Students will analyse and propose solutions to
real-life issues related to spatial organization, such as determining transportation routes,
appropriate locations for community services, or potential conservation and preservation
areas. Students will extend their ability to use geographic information systems (GIS), global
positioning systems (GPS), and remote sensing and to create maps, charts, and graphs.
Throughout the course, students will apply the concepts of geographic thinking and the
geographic inquiry process to investigate various issues related to spatial organization.
