Introduction to ArcGIS I
(for all versions of ArcView 8-9, ArcEditor 8- 9, and ArcInfo 8-9)
Two days - cost per student - $540
ESRI Authorized Instructors – Mark Duewell, Tony Spicci
Location – Stewart Hall, UM, Columbia
Dates – see above…
Overview
This two-day course introduces students to ArcGIS and provides the foundation for becoming a successful ArcView, ArcEditor, or ArcInfo user. Participants learn how to use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox and explore how these applications work together to provide a complete GIS software solution. The course covers fundamental GIS concepts as well as how to create, edit, and work with geo-referenced spatial data. Attendees learn how to manipulate tabular data, query a GIS database, and present data clearly and efficiently using maps and charts.
Audience
This course is for those who are new to ArcGIS or to geographic information systems in general.
Goals
- Display feature and tabular data
- Work with geo-referenced spatial data
- Query features using logical expressions
- Find features using spatial relationships
- Edit spatial and attribute data
- Associate tables with joins and relates
- Produce maps, reports, and graphs
Topics covered
- ArcGIS overview: Capabilities and applications, interacting with the interface, and basic display
- Spatial data concepts: Representing spatial data and descriptive information
- ArcGIS data model: Geodatabases, shapefiles, coverages, feature types, and attributes
- GIS software: Components, functions, applications
- Spatial coordinate systems and map projections: Geo-referencing data, what map projections are, and how ArcMap works with map projections
- Querying data: Selecting and identifying features and creating reports and graphs
- Map displays: Creating, symbolizing, scaling, and adding map elements
Prerequisites and recommendations
Registrants should know how to use windowing software. This course provides the fundamental ArcGIS knowledge and experience needed to enroll in Introduction to ArcGIS II (for ArcView 8-9, ArcEditor 8-9 , and ArcInfo 8-9) as well as several other ESRI courses. Many of the topics covered in this course are similar to those in What's New in ArcInfo 8 and Migrating from ArcView 3.x to ArcView 8. Attendees who complete this course should not enroll in What's New in ArcInfo 8 or Migrating from ArcView 3.x to ArcView 8. Students who have worked with ArcInfo prior to version 8 and want to learn about the new ArcInfo applications should take What's New in ArcInfo 8. Students who have worked with prior versions of ArcView and want to learn about ArcView 8 applications should take Migrating from ArcView 3.x to ArcView 8.

Introduction to ArcGIS II
Three days - cost per student - $825
Dates: See above…
Location: University of Missouri’s Geospatial Training Center (GTC).
Rm. 107- Stewart Hall – Columbia, MO
ESRI “Authorized” Instructors: Mark Duewell, Tony Spicci
Course Overview
Extend what you learned in Introduction to ArcGIS I with further exploration of ArcMap and ArcCatalog. This course focuses on spatial analysis, automation of spatial and attribute data, editing, and advanced options for cartographic display. A portion of the class is reserved for carrying out an analysis project and applying many of the new skills and techniques learned in this course. Participants conduct queries, perform spatial analysis, and present their results in a hard-copy map.
Audience
This course is designed for those with fundamental knowledge of ArcGIS and geographic information systems in general.
Prerequisites and recommendations
This course is for those who have completed Introduction to ArcGIS I. If the prerequisite course is not completed, a participant should have comparable experience with ArcGIS before taking this course. The course also provides participants with the fundamental ArcGIS knowledge and experience needed to enroll in Building Geodatabases I.
Goals
- Perform spatial analysis
- Manage geographic data
- Perform geocoding
- Automate data through heads-up digitizing
- Convert data from other formats
- Edit spatial and attribute data
- Create and use metadata
- Produce high-quality maps and reports
Topics covered
- Spatial analysis and data management: Buffers; Spatial overlays; Extracting features for analysis; Analytical methods and tools
- Geocoding and display of locations from tabular data: Address geocoding; Display of points from x,y coordinates
- Editing: Tools for creating and editing spatial data; Editing attribute data; Spatial adjustment
- Data automation: Data sources; Digitizing; Data conversion
- Project management: Database organization; File and directory naming conventions; Creating and using metadata
- Geoprocessing: introduction to the Command Line window and the ModelBuilder interface
- Cartography: Advanced symbology and labeling
Migrating from ArcView 3.x to ArcView 8
Two days – cost per student - $560
ESRI Authorized Instructor – Tony Spicci
Location – Stewart Hall, UM, Columbia
Dates – TBA
Overview
This two-day course introduces ArcView 3.x users to the features and architecture of ArcView 8. Students learn how to use the new Windows-based applications—ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox—and explore how these applications work together. Students gain a basic understanding of ArcView 8 and the experience they need to enroll in many other ESRI courses including Introduction to ArcGIS II (for ArcView 8, ArcEditor 8, and ArcInfo 8) . Participants learn how ArcView 3.x terminology and features relate to the new terminology and features of ArcView 8. They also learn how to create, edit, and geo-reference spatial data, as well as manipulate tabular data, query a GIS database, perform spatial analysis, and present data clearly and efficiently using maps and graphs. Many of the topics covered in this course are similar to those in Introduction to ArcGIS I (for ArcView 8, ArcEditor 8, and ArcInfo 8). Attendees who complete this course should not enroll in Introduction to ArcGIS I (for ArcView 8, ArcEditor 8, and ArcInfo 8).
Audience
This course is for ArcView 3.x users who want to learn ArcView 8.
Goals
- Display feature and tabular data
- Geo-reference spatial data
- Query features using logical expressions
- Find features using spatial relationships
- Edit spatial and attribute data
- Import features into a geodatabase
- Produce maps, reports, and graphs
Topics covered
- ArcView GIS 3.x and ArcView 8 comparison: ArcView 8 terms and features
- ArcView 8: Capabilities and applications, interacting with the interface, basic display, and importing ArcView 3.x projects and symbology into ArcView 8
- New spatial data concepts: Representing spatial data, representing descriptive information, and metadata
- ArcGIS data model: Geodatabases, shapefiles, coverages, feature types, and attributes Editing: Editing spatial and attribute data
- Attribute data: Field types, table relationships, associating tables, and creating reports and graphs
- Utilizing spatial coordinate systems and map projections: Geo-referencing data and how ArcMap works with map projections
- Querying data: Selecting and identifying features
