Subject: NGA GIS Course

 

Hello,

 

For anyone who may be interested, the National Geospatial Intelligence
Agency (NGA) will be offering a GIS course in Bothell, WA.  It will be
offered the week of February 14th, and held next door to the FEMA -
Region X Regional Federal Response Center.  I have included the address
and a brief class description below.  Although it is an intro GIS
course, it is required before you can take any of the other NGA GIS
courses.  Currently I have about 13 open slots, which are available on a
first-come first-serve basis.  If you are interested in attending,
please let me know ASAP; however, you will be required to cover your own
travel expenses. 

 

Address:

Hooper Center

130 228th Street SW

Bothell, WA 98021   

 

Course Description:

GIS2101: Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Course
Purpose: This course is designed for the beginner GIS user. It will
provide a working foundation in Geographic Information Systems (GIS),
with an emphasis on the use of ArcGIS 9.3 to exploit NGA digital data to

40% lecture and 60% practical exercises. 

Objectives: Upon completing this instruction, participants will be able
to:
