作为学生，您将以一种基于项目的软件密集型格式工作，该格式专注于在GIS中建立基础，并且可以灵活地将您的研究重点放在您的专业领域。您将可以使用我们的尖端技术，这些技术将帮助您开发遥感，面向对象的程序设计，空间分析和建模，数字摄影测量，Web地图/ GIS和CAD技能。除了您将在课堂上学到的许多宝贵技能之外，您还将有机会参加专业实践课程，在那里您将熟悉GIS毕业生可以找到的许多充实的工作机会。作为该计划的一部分，您可以与政府机构，GIS软件雇主以及其他使用GIS技术的私营企业进行GIS工作。毕业后，学生被聘为
GIS analysts, technicians and specialists are in-demand in both the private and public sector, and require a unique skill set and knowledge of current technologies. Discover a rewarding career with Fanshawe's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program. Combine hands-on learning with in-class theory and technical training and graduate ready to hit the ground running in your career.<br>The GIS program offers a project-based, software intensive format that focuses on building a foundation in GIS, with the flexibility to focus your studies in your selected area of expertise in geographic data. Youll have access to our cutting-edge technology that will help you develop skills in remote-sensing, object-oriented programming, spatial analysis and modelling, digital photogrammetry, map projections, web map GIS and CAD skills. <br>You can also apply your skills in an optional four-month summer co-op work experience with an associated GIS-based employer. GIS placements may include government agencies, GIS software employers, and other private industry companies that use GIS technology. This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience in the field and connect with industry partners. <br>This program prepares graduates for employment in a wide range of land-based industries that utilize spatial and tabular data. The program is project-based, software-intensive, interdisciplinary, and focused on building flexible, current, high-end applied skills. Students will gain mastery of foundational GIS skills and apply leading-edge techniques in GIS Science to create spatial solutions. Remote sensing, object-oriented programming, spatial analysis and modeling, digital photogrammetry, web map/web GIS and CAD skills will all be developed, and students will have the opportunity to apply these technical skills to their own areas of specialization (engineering, social sciences, humanities, community health or other sciences).<br>Students are required to have a PC laptop computer for all courses and to have internet access whether attending face-to-face classes or online sessions.<br>Classes are delivered as face-to-face classroom sessions. All classes will be digitally broadcast and recorded. Full-time and part-time students have the option to watch live interactive webcasts or attend classes personally for all courses. All webcasts will be archived so students can review material.
