Description
In this course, we will visit ten to twelve NYC-based organizations that are serious users of GIS. The majority of these will be city agencies, but there will also be non-for-profit organizations and private (engineering) consultancies. Each visit will be based on an academic GIScience theme such as database management, spatial analysis, customization, web services, privacy, PPGIS/outreach, etc. Every student will be responsible for an academic topic and will spearhead our effort to determine how it is implemented in the organizations we visit. An intended side effect of this course is to mutually inform CUNY and these organizations about what state-of-the-art is and what are the current practices and expectations on the employers' side.
