Computer Science - Burlington County College

Geospatial Technology
Associate of Applied Science, (AAS.GIS)
This program consists of a sequence of introductory courses
in geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning
systems (GPS), and remote sensing (RS).
These courses will emphasize the application of geospatial
technology to a broad range of issues such as sustainable
population growth, land use management, transportation
route planning, and water-quality management.
Graduates of this program should be able to:
Demonstrate an understanding of geographic
information systems and how they can be used to
manage and analyze spatial information;
Demonstrate an understanding of the principle of data
acquisition and management with the global
positioning system;
Demonstrate an understanding of the principle of
remote sensing and image processing;
Explore geospatial technology’s role in social,
behavioral, life, and physical sciences;
Apply critical thinking and communication skills
through problem-solving projects.
