Purdue Center for Advanced Applications of Geographic Information Systems (CAAGIS)
Our Mission
is to apply GIS tools in inter-disciplinary education, outreach and research efforts, both for Purdue University and for Indiana municipalities.
The creation of a Center for Advanced Applications of Geographic Information Systems (CAAGIS) was proposed to Purdue's Academic Re-investment Program in order to build on past campus successes such as INGIS and WETnet.
Resources and databases maintained by CAAGIS, such as the surgo soils maps enhance our ability to address local needs with detailed information. Data layers are provided on our local ECN network at digital data library and for Internet / FTP download on our extensive data download page.
Course description: ASM 591F covers fundamentals of GIS analysis applied to environmental, agricultural, and engineering-related problems. Topics include data sources, spatial analysis; projections; creating data and metadata, and conceptualizing and solving spatial problems using GIS. At the end of this course, students will:
- Understand the fundamentals of spatial analysis
- Be able to apply GIS to agricultural, environmental, and engineering problems
- Be able to make informed judgements about the suitability of GIS data and analysis for a particular application
- Develop skills to effectively use ArcGIS, a major GIS software tool
- Enhance their problem-solving and communication skills through independent projects and presentations
- Be able to learn independently in the future about GIS, ArcGIS, and other GIS software
