This program provides spatial analysis training, including knowledge of spatial data types and formats, analysis techniques and visualization methods.
The program has experienced a small dip in enrollment, upon return to in-person lab time. However, students are better able to grasp the workings of our software from the in-person work.
Increasing enrollment will be an ongoing effort. |
