Courses proposed for addition to the non-ECE Technical Electives list:
- GGIS 407 / GEOG 407 "Foundations of CyberGIS & Geospatial Data Science" - Intended to introduce students to CyberGIS – Geospatial Information Science and Systems (GIS) based on advanced cyberinfrastructure as well as the state of the art in high-performance computing, big data, and cloud computing in the context of geospatial data science. Students will use CyberGISX, which is an innovative cyberGIS framework for conducting data-intensive, reproducible, and scalable geospatial analytics with Jupyter Notebook as its primary user environment. Students are expected to learn how to develop Jupyter notebooks to analyze and visualize geospatial data using leading-edge cyberGIS software and python libraries. Emphasis is placed on learning the cutting-edge advances of cyberGIS and its underlying geospatial data science principles. Same as GEOL 407. 4 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours.
This course is also part of various completely online graduate/certificate programs of the Department of Geography & Geographic Information Science https://ggis.illinois.edu. In GGIS 407 students also get introduced to HadoopAt the last meeting in Fall 2022, the committee discussed preliminarly possible inclusion in the non-ECE tech elective list. More detaled information and one example of work executed in one of the lab assignments was received in the meantime from the course instructor.
