Geographic Information Systems (GIS) use both spatial information (maps) and databases to perform analytical studies on urban models. This course covers underlying geographic concepts (world coordinate system and projections, vector map topology, tiled and layered maps, standard computer map file formats, urban applications, etc.) and provides computer lab tutorials and case studies on the leading GIS software, ArcView 3.2 from Environmental Systems Research Institute. CAFM (Computer Aided Facilities Management) facilitates problem solving techniques using CAD and CAFM software address both analytical and spatial information. Relational databases illustrate how departments in an organization share data to actively create accurate and up-to-date reports. Hypertext links between software applications will show how data can be stored and retrieved in different formats accessible to everyone. EIS (Executive Information Systems) and data/drawing access via the WEB will show students how CAFM is used by organizations as a central storage location using many types of infrastructure data.
