Steven DiNaso's Vita
Frequently Taught Courses
I teach the following courses, all of which I designed, proposed, and implemented here at EIU.GEG 3810-5810 Geographic Information Science I
To attain a level of proficiency in GIS using Esri ArcGIS which will allow the student to effectively merge into the mainstream GIS community, and to accomplish the methods and procedures necessary to perform basic thematic mapping and spatial analysis.
GEG 3860-5860 Geographic Information Science II
Advance your foundational ArcGIS skills by learning how to obtain reliable results from different types of GIS analysis. You will apply a standard workflow to efficiently solve spatial problems using a variety of ArcGIS tools, and vector, raster, and temporal data. Techniques to effectively share your analysis workflows and results are covered. This course is taught using ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced.
GEG 3850-5850 GPS: Mapping the Modern Way
To attain a level of proficiency in GPS using handheld and survey-grade GPS, to provide a framework with which GPS data collection is visualized using GIS modeling, and to accomplish the methods and procedures necessary to perform basic GPS field methods including, data collection, data processing, and data management.
GEG 3830-5830 Building Geodatabases
This course covers the fundamental concepts of building ‘Geodatabases,’ – Relational Database Management Systems, and focuses on the storage, management, and quality control of GIS data. Students will learn how to create Personal and File-Based Esri Geodatabases, how to migrate existing data to a geodatabase, and how to edit data stored in a geodatabase.
